Pilot scheme to include community and education initiatives

RESIDENTS and businesses across Rother are being asked to help keep town streets and rural areas free from the scourge of litter.

Litter louts and shameless dog owners who fail to pick up after their pets are being targeted by new wardens patrolling a Kent district's streets.

Enforcement work in the Canterbury district to tackle a range of environmental offences such as littering is to be carried out by a new private company.
