IN response to Tim Ponsford (Letters, April 13). Due to people discarding their rubbish indiscriminately every day of the year, litter pickers are a neccessity. Rather than expecting them to clean up litter around your fence, take the initiative yourself, saving as you say, the taxpayer and the environment.
In addition, council workers are also taxpayers and are entitled to be paid extra for working public holidays.
