I WAS delighted to see litter fines as front page news. I just can’t believe it has taken Wirral Council so long to tackle it.

I take the same route to work most days and as the week progresses, you see the litter building up.

I regularly see parents and children just openly dropping litter on the floor en-route to school, it is particularly bad around Bebington Station and the road that runs towards The Kings.

I hope they have patrols round there, but that said, it is a problem throughout the borough.

Let’s hope this has a real impact and changes habits and is not just a flash in the pan.
