CHILDREN fed up that they have to trudge through litter on the way to school are calling for action to stop people fly-tipping in St Peter Port.
The young students of Notre Dame du Rosaire Primary School have to walk past – sometimes through – rubbish dumped on the steps and alleyways of Burnt Lane.
Bin bags get ripped open by animals and all kinds of unpleasant waste is strewn about – ranging from sanitary towels to chicken carcasses.
‘When we went to Mass the other day, there was cat litter, nappies, and bloody bandages dumped,’ said Harvey Cameron, 9.
The students in Lis de Jersey’s Year 4 class decided to do something about it – and wrote to Constables Barry Cash and Dennis Le Moignan asking for action.

Need CCTV at Bataille lane inbetween Havilland St
& St John`s St which also is used by fly tippers.
Need the authorities to check names in bags from letters and come down hard on them.
Report abuse
What is needs is the folks that live in this area to keep a look out and shop the ones who do this .and a reward should go to them if the person get prosecuted
I love my parish and am sick of seeing it littered with others rubbish
a big fine will at lest help offset the costs
as for the cameras what’s the point in telling them where they are .a hidden one would work so much better and net in many more folks.
I look forwards to seeing the first on up in court and i hope they get the top fine.
