 litter. You see it everywhere and don't we all hate it. It's unsightly and causes harm to wildlife and their habitats. Litter doesn't clean itself away, it can take years to degrade. Some of the worst littering we see is at the side of our roads. For some reason it seems that some people think it's okay to throw their rubbish out of their vehicles window and it costs all of us taxpayers a great deal of money to clean it up. During the first quarter of this year, more than 1,300 bags of rubbish were collected from almost 140 miles of the busiest roads in South Cambridgeshire at a cost of nearly £70,000. So the council is doing what it can but we can all do our bit to help and taking your litter home or placing it into a bin would be a very good start. Most of us come across litter every day even walking across this field this afternoon, a farmers field. It's easy to find litter. It's for this reason that litter picking groups have sprung up in villages all across our district. They do a huge amount to help with the problem and it could be much much worse without them. We thank them all for their efforts. The council encourages litter picking community groups and offers support to them. They can provide gloves, litter pickers you know these things and bags and if you have a big litter picking day when you pick up a lot of stuff and if you let them know about it they'll collect the waste you collect afterwards and make a special journey. They also offer advice on how to conduct social distancing compliant community litter picks. The Keep Britain Tidy campaign group are also very active on this subject and it's a good source of information that's Keep Britain Tidy. At the end of the day it's the responsibility of all of us to deal with littering. When you come across it why not pick it up and put it where it should have gone in the first place in the bin or in the recycling bin. I think if everybody did their little bit even if you just pick up one or two pieces on a walk it will make a huge difference. Thanks.
