IT never ceases to amaze me that Thurrock Council blow their trumpet saying they have a zero tolerance to littering.

This I agree to as well but when you have travellers doing exactly what they want when they want where they want the council’s philosophy goes out of the window.

Take for instance the Gammon fields entrance road and Blackshots playing fields.

How many fines were dished out here, I would guess maybe NONE! Why?

Is it because the council and police are scared of this group of people. I myself think so, that is why we are treated as a soft touch and used as a garbage dump, and when you look like a dump more rubbish comes your way.

Thurrock Council get your act together and jump on all litterers – and not just the easy touches.
