A well attended meeting last night with plenty of interesting questions. one reflected concern at the aggressive approach taken by the new litter wardens who appear to have powers to demand on the spot fines. Although agreeing that their approach seems over zealous I feel that some action was needed to try and reduce the amount of litter (and dog mess) around town. The area around the station and opposite the station is regularly full of sweet wrappers, cans and other rubbish which does nothing to promote appreciation of the town. So keep the wardens but maybe do some work on customer relations and offer warnings before instant fines.
