REGARDING your article on litter wardens being employed by Hyndburn Council (LET, May 15), as a Hyndburn resident it sticks in my throat a bit that the council will spend money on something like this, but will not clean up the back streets of the filth and litter in them.

If they really want to clean up the town centre, wouldn't it be better to get the drunks, their bottles, cans and dogs from the benches outside the shops?

Accrington is not a very nice place to shop with your children on any afternoon and rubbish is not the main cause.
