Letter: Jobless could be paid to clear roadside litter
I would just like to take this opportunity to inform the appropriate people at Telford & Wrekin and Shrewsbury and Atcham councils, plus the appropriate people at the Highways Agency that I am part of a large group of unemployed people in this area who would gladly be paid to help pick up the colossal amount of rubbish that seems to be adorning our roadsides at the moment.

Basically because the people you are paying to do it obviously have forgotten how to.
The verges along the M54 between Telford and Shrewsbury are covered in litter and have been for several weeks that I know of. A reduction in council tax would suffice if you don't want to pay us.
