SWINDON Mayor Coun S Pajak recently called upon the small minority responsible for the litter and food discarded streets of our town to clean up their act.

With respect, his pleas will fall upon deaf ears. This problem should and could be resolved by Swindon police and magistrates.

A dramatic improvement will only occur when your newspaper carries the headlines "50 people were today fined £50 each in Swindon magistrates court for depositing litter in a public place."
