Kent litter campaigner: 'It's like the cesspit of England'

Litter campaigner Danny Lucas takes a tour of his local area in Kent to show why he believes the county has become the "cesspit of England."

Danny told 5 live: “You can’t walk more than three feet and there it is. If you see it you add to it, it’s a culture problem. Until you get people to realise the authorities care as well then they’ll just add to it.â€

“I’m in the garden of England but it’s like the cesspit of England, it’s a real shame, it’s just everywhere.â€

“It’s about setting standards; it’s not about leaving it and saying we haven’t got the budget.â€

People who drop litter could be fined up to £150 and fly-tippers could be forced to clean up their own rubbish under new government plans to tackle littering.
