As part of its drive to “improve the cleaness of your streets and help make the area an even better place to live work and visit for everyone” the council has asked me to display the above poster.

This draws attention to a new publicity campaign against littering. The fine has been increased to £75 and this is being backed up by posters, fliers and radio adverts. There don’t appear to be any extra resources for actual street cleaning however.

To report litter, fly-tipping or grafitti email councilconnect@bathnes.gov.uk or call 394041.
