Anti-Litter Campaign Starts Reaping Rewards
Written by HFM News on 11th August 2021
A new campaign targeting litterbugs on roads across Harborough is starting to have an effect.
Council enforcement officers say there has been a marked improvement in the cleanliness of lay-bys, with significantly less rubbish discarded.
They have been patrolling hotspot areas, including the A6, A4304 and A47 to educate drivers and deal with anyone caught in the act dropping litter.
Hard-hitting signs have also gone up at the roadside, warning drivers they face a fine if caught, and people are encouraged to send in dashcam footage of anyone throwing litter out of their vehicle.
