Madam,

Re: Wrexham county council picks up £30,000 a month with litter fines (Sunday Times, 1 January).

What a splendid idea for Ceredigion County Council to adopt this approach to litter waste. Private contractors can be employed to issue fines for anyone who deposits litter in the Aberystwyth area.

So many beautiful and scenic parts of Aberystwyth are marred with litter strewn into our hedges and, in particular, on footpaths along the banks of the river Rheidol.

It is time for a zero tolerance approach towards litter pollution and to Keep Aberystwyth Tidy.

Yours etc,
