Chavs + Litter

[RedBike]

Last year I found a way to commute to work (by bike) that went door to door without ever going on a road. Over the past few months I've more or less had most of the paths to myself. Just the occational dog walkers to contend with.

However, now that the weather is slowly improving the chavs seem to be back out in force in the evenings again. There's now packs of them huddled together under the canal/railway bridges.

These groups are intimidating, but this isn't my problem. My problem is the HUGE amount of litter they drop. There is now glass, empty beer cans, various burn 'objects' and more worrying discarded needles everywhere.

What can I do about it?

I daren't walk through these tunnels anymore for fear of what i'm going to tread on let alone ride through them.

I was cycling home last night along a path next to the River Lagan in Belfast and there were 3 chavs drinking a carry out. At the same time a rower was skulling up the river and the chavs took to throwing cans at him.

Utter utter scum bags.

And local community Police. We've had good success with the latter route and had the gangs moved from occupying certain areas, like outside the local communty centre. It could work for you.

I realise the gangs have got to go somewhere and I haven't got a problem with them gathering along the paths or under the bridges. (Ideally they wouldn't exist in the first place; but lets face it, thats never going to happen).

It's all the stuff they leave behind thats the trouble. I had to kick half a burnt out settee out of the way this morning.

Invest in a firearm.
Hopefully the police will turn a blind eye to a few dead chavs and the neighbourhood will thank you for it.

What will they do about it other than blame it on Broken Britain, Immigrants, or the Underclass?
