'Education is the only way to clean up Northampton'

We have become accustomed to seeing a dirty town.

Fly-tipping in street corners and litter on the pavements has become the norm. However, if the council is not determined to make our town the cleanest then people will continue to make our town the dirtiest.

We need to take drastic measures to educate people about having pride where they live and that littering is not good for the environment.

This message needs to go out in every language. However, I don’t think this council has the will power to do anything about it, because it’s not their priority.
