IT seems there is a considerable groundswell of feeling relating to restoring pride in our city, with particular reference to litter. Can we now harness this healthy concern, use the momentum, identify movers and shakers to find ways to discourage the thoughtless discarding of almost anything no longer wanted; and, just as importantly, to deal with behaviour that is rather more wilful? Is there an group prepared to grasp this nettle and really make a difference? Presumably, this needs to emanate from within the council but from reading the correspondence page in the Hereford Times it is clear there are enthusiastic people among the general public who would surely be willing to lend support.

It is time, not merely to whinge but to do something.
