Council acts over Tesco litter
Wednesday, 30th September 2009.
Just two days after Tesco's new superstore opened in the town, Haverhill Town Councillors heard the first complaints about litter on the site.
Councillor Pat Hanlon told members an area of steps at the back of the store connecting with the railway walk had become heavily littered with Tesco lemonade bottles and crisp packets.
Councillor Anne Gower told him any such problems should be reported to the store manager who had undertaken to sort them out quickly, but Councillor Hanlon wanted to be sure it was done as a matter of course.
"I can't be policing this all the time. I want to make sure it is done on a regular basis," he said.
The council agreed to write to the store manager to request the area was tidied regularly.
