Good question. I would imagine that the Lansdowne would want to keep a clean entrance to their premises so it would be in their best interests to go out their a few times a day and sweep up. It also goes to show what a messy lot the smokers are!

Not sure who "the litter man" is - presumably some publicly-funded person that all us non-smoking taxpayers pay for because smokers can't be arsed to place their dog-ends in the rubbish? |

Totally agree. Why should smokers think they have the right to discard fag butts on the pavement as they feel fit - whether they pay more tax or not? Cigarette smokers are certainly the most un-sociable members of the public with not only their litter habits but also the foetid stench of their smoke, plus themselves after a cigarette.
On a slight tangent, how can people afford to smoke these days?? I saw cigarettes for sale last night in Bromham Social Club for £6.00 a packet!

Right, so by the same argument, as I pay car tax, I should expect to throw litter out of my car window and have someone employed to pick it up, yes?
Somehow I don't think so... |

I was driving down Old Derry Hill this afternoon and saw a trail of MacDonald's takeaway rubbish strewn all up the middle of the road. It is a sad state of affairs that somebody saw fit to throw this out of their car window rather than take it home and dispose of it properly.

morally its the responsibility of the Lansdowne but legally its the council, county council. the town council does employ a street cleaner who does operate in the town centre.
i am sure that the Lansdowne will want to deal with this one.
