Like many local residents I have been concerned about litter near the Campkin Road shops. I have been in contact with the Enforcement Team and with our litter pickers.
The enforcement team have started to patrol and will be visiting at lunchtimes to monitor the situation and issue fixed penalties to anyone dropping litter. Our litter teams pick the area every day and are looking at the routines they follow.
There is also a continuing effort to work with CRC to try and educate students about the issues around littering and the risk of a fine. The college have tried to work with us before.
We are also considering whether any further actions are appropriate if the issue continues as it has in previous years. Various items of legislation are under consideration.

I'm a local resident and regularly shop in Campkin Tesco. I don't think the problem lies with CRC students, I often see large groups of much younger people gathering outside and would assume it is them to blame.
Thanks for that: if you can suggest times I can pass on to the enforcement team we can check on this too.
There is definitely a CRC connection though: the litter follows the route back to the College, and the CRC security team have helped identify some offenders in the past.
It isn't just one group though and I wouldn't want to say that or to say that all the CRC students are responsible. I personally know many of them (from when they were LVC students) to be responsible young people.
