I AM writing in response to the article entitled 'litter costs us a tidy sum' in the Lancaster Citizen.
Although not everybody would agree I think dropping litter is pure vandalism and damages the environment largely. Also money that could be spent on making Lancaster a more enjoyable is spent on cleaning up Lancaster.
Did you know that to keep Lancaster clean for a year it costs £635,000. I mean what cheek those litter louts have, making us pay through tax to have their filth cleaned up. Well it's not right, so I've been thinking of some solutions:
Firstly litter louts should be fined on a spot by volunteers that can patrol the street.
Secondly more bins should be dotted around Lancaster
Finally dropping litter should be seen as an offence so posters should be put up around Lancaster
I hope I have shown that dropping litter is a disgusting, dirty and lazy habit and I hope it will change.
