Litter: Why no action?

UCKFIELD'S litter campaigner insists both Wealden District and Uckfield Town councils could use statutory powers to clear rubbish in Civic Way.

In a follow-up to his picture and comments in the Express, Michael Andrews of Ellis Way says the council's response was 'predictable.'

Replying to their comment that the litter was not their fault, Mr Andrews exhorts: 'doing nothing is not an option.'

He asks: 'What about an anti-litter forum; what about local taxpaying townspeople litter-picking in front of TV cameras?

'Meanwhile we pray for official action.'

Uckfield Town Council said the litter was in areas outside their responsibility and they had no authority to make clearances.
