Rejected petition Please sort the terrible litter that collects around our local supermarket.
Every day on my way to school I pass Mudchute Farm. The path between there and Asda is always full of litter. It's disgusting. The same is true for the path between Asda and East Ferry Road. This poisons local animals: I once saw a squirrel eating plastic! It's cruel, depressing and heartbreaking.
More details
Volunteers do help, but the litter is continuous. I am aware that the car parking around Asda is cleaned every morning, is there a possibility that our local council could do the same for those two paths? Or perhaps the volunteers could clean up more often? That way we can ensure that our city is safe and enjoyable for everyone.
