Litter in Goose Green Way

Every time I take this route I am shocked at the amount of
-
Problem litter areas in Yate
litter that is left behind by passers by and the groups of young people who
congregate there in the evenings.
I still can’t quite believe that even today, the message
does not get through to people about litter and the environment. I fail to see
what is ‘cool’ about discarding rubbish.
I now that certain areas constantly battle with young people
gathering and are a prime area for litter and broken glass, but I would have
thought that these areas would be a ‘hot’ area for the councils to maintain and
keep clean.
Is there a reason the areas are left for a while before
being cleared up? I came to think that possibly they are left to discourage
groups from staying in that area but in certain areas, it just does not
discourage them.
Do you know any other ‘hotspots’ for youths and rubbish in
Yate? Are there areas that the council should be aware of as they are harming
the environment and creating potential harm for walkers, dogs and young
children?

The friends of Yate Common are a fantastic group. If only there were more community groups like that around. We could have a fantastic town if everyone treated the environment like them.

ReportThere are certain areas on the common that attract alot of youths and that tends to mean a lot of litter too. The friends of Yate Common do a great job of keeping on top of the situation though.
