  Hi Colin
  
  I agree the Traffic Wardens are highly prolific..not sure if they are on a bonus system!!!
  
  I think DDC were to or have retitled them "Enforcement Officers" so in effect they could have the powers for litter/dog fouling etc if DDC so desired but I dont think they do any of this at present
  
  HI Ross
  
  Yes the underpass is a disgrace,, this is the only route that tourists take from the seafront and sets the scene for their visit to Dover.
  
  It seems DDC has a "Chewing Gum Removal Machine" but it is the wrong type as only cleans paving and not asphalt.
  
  To open the subject a little wider.... As a boy I remember when there was a penny deposit on a bottle. This encouraged the bottle to be returned to the shop, if it was discarded there was always someone who would pick it up to get the penny. How about a 5p on cans as we seem to have the town scattered with beer/drink cans . A tax on chewing gum if the tax was used for cleaning the streets rather than, I suspect, Central Government would retain it in the general coffers.
