Adopt a beach in Eastbourne? Let's try adopt a street, too

As an adoptee of a beach under the excellent scheme organized by Plastic Free Eastbourne I am hoping that such a similar idea as Adopt your Street might be possible.

On the way to the Big Beach Clean last Sunday I almost filled my bag before I reached the beach.

In Utopia (or even Japan) there would be no need to pick up other people's rubbish.

But as it is, we should be ashamed of the litter in our streets and if everyone took responsibility for their street we could improve our environment and be more welcoming to visitors to our town.

A few more bins would be helpful too; I walked for over half an hour around Lower Meads without finding anywhere to deposit the rubbish I had picked up
