On most days, purple bags of litter are stacked for collection by Norse, Havant Borough Council's operations management organisation. Sometimes up to twenty bags are stacked against the Bulbeck Wall, near Santander Bank, often left overnight. Regularly, paper, food and other detritus of all sorts, is strewn across the grass verge, pavement and road. In … Continue reading Litter vandals are on the loose in Havant Town Centre!
