Very impressive. It is a shame others in Dover (and pretty much everywhere else) don't follow his example. I did see an elderly gentleman picking up rubbish on Snargate Street a while ago.

Well done Nigel - brownie-points are on their way to you.
There's a chap who lives close to Folkestone Road that when ever he's walking down or up, picks up any litter he sees.
There's less people with a sense of civic pride nowadays, not sure why that is though.

That may be true Brian, but we do need more litter bins.

Maybe he will qualify to have his picture on the back of a bus

I always pick up litter outside my house and my immediate neighbours. I've said this before, I think everyone should do the same, it only takes a few seconds a day and just think of the difference it would make. Of course it will never happen.

Hope nothing blows out of the bag and the litter wardens pounce

As with most towns this town has more litter bins than you could shake a shoe at, we don't need any more we just need people to use them
Well Done Nigel :)

Yes we do have a lot of litter bins but are they all in the right place

Looks like your trousers could do with binning as well, Nigel.

Well done Nigel, I trust he then sorted it into the appropriate recycling bins.
Politics, it seems to me, for years, or all too long, has been concerned with right or left instead of right or wrong.
