IN ONE edition of the Citizen it stated how many thousands of pounds its costing to tidy our streets.

In my area people dump their rubbish out for a new collection on the afternoon of a rubbish collection, therefore its there for a whole week.

If people had more respect for their streets the council wouldn't have this extra work! Animals rip open the bags and rubbish gets blown around everywhere that's why our streets are a mess.

I've had big vet bills through my pet eating something bad outside where isn't fair as vet bills don't come cheap.

If people put their rubbish out the evening before collection it would save us money and the council time and effort.
