I was shocked to see the amount of littering enforcement officers around East Dulwich over the past few days. I agree with the fact that littering should be stopped and the people who dropped litter in the streets should be cautioned but I think in this economic climate the council have taken on and are paying staff to do this job, whereas we the tax payers are having to subsidise these people. Already money is very tight for alot of people and I would rather my tax be paid to people who are actually patrolling our streets so that people are not afraid to go out. I know of a friends whose children walk home after school and are terrorised by other children in the street. MAKE OUR STREETS SAFER!
