fourth year pupils, who have been taking part in a litter survey during the l>ast two weeks, were so disgusted with what they found that they appointed six of their classmates to write to the “Advertiser and Times” with their views. The children — aged 11

“In Clitheroe swimming b a th ’s car park, there were a lot of ring-pulls and, on Roefield playing field, the amount of litter was enormous. . . and that was just near the hedge. There was enough rubbish to fill the bins of all the h o u s e s in S id d ow s Avenue, where I live! It’s polluting our world." She was backed by

Michelle Webb told us


that seven big black bin- liners had been'filled in the area around Edisford alone and that her friend had found 41 cigarette ends. “She was disgusted,”


wrote Michelle. "If there is so much litter in part of Clitheroe, how much is there in England, let alone the world!” Michael Wood said his
