Sir, – I was so fed up with all the litter in and around Northallerton, and people moaning about it, that I decided I would try to do something about it.

The council told me there were no vacancies in waste management and yet there continues to be more litter on our streets than they can manage to keep up with.

This looks so bad for visitors, and just tells our children that dropping litter is OK.

I am prepared to help do the job. I am fit, enthusiastic, reliable, would work in any weather and would work part- or fulltime.

Let me help keep Northallerton clean.

What about one of the parties sponsoring me? Anyone got any ideas to help me?

MRS TERESA BURT Ainderby Gardens, Northallerton.
