Brothers declare war on litter louts

Karen Britton
9/ 7/2008

TWO BROTHERS in arms have taken the war against waste into their own hands with daily estate clean ups.

Upton Priory’s dynamic duo Jeremy and Patrick Bates have collected a whopping 5,000 bags since they began their litter-picking crusade five months ago.

   All credit to this pair they are a credit to the community.

The Council, and particularly Paul Morgan, should hang their heads in shame that it has taken 2 public-spirited citizens to do their jobs for them.

   great job guys, can you perhaps get some help through the courts from people ordered to community service. here in the states there is a scheme called 'adopt a highway' and different companies, organisations and sometimes families commit to keeping a section clean.good luck to you both for your public mindedness

   Good work lads but isn't the message getting through to people on Upton to keep their own area litter free!! We all have a responsibility.
