Kent litter campaigner: 'It's like the cesspit of England'

Litter campaigner Danny Lucas takes a tour of his local area in Kent to show why he believes the county has become the "cesspit of England."

Danny told 5 live: 鈥淵ou can鈥檛 walk more than three feet and there it is. If you see it you add to it, it鈥檚 a culture problem. Until you get people to realise the authorities care as well then they鈥檒l just add to it.鈥

鈥淚鈥檓 in the garden of England but it鈥檚 like the cesspit of England, it鈥檚 a real shame, it鈥檚 just everywhere.鈥

鈥淚t鈥檚 about setting standards; it鈥檚 not about leaving it and saying we haven鈥檛 got the budget.鈥

People who drop litter could be fined up to 拢150 and fly-tippers could be forced to clean up their own rubbish under new government plans to tackle littering.
