The Evesham Journal has declared war on litter louts who are dumping rubbish on local roads and lay-bys.

The paper has sent out a call to Clean-up the Vale in a bid to halt incidents of fly-tipping and littering.

Mid Worcestershire MP Peter Luff and Evesham's mayor Pat Clifford have both backed the Journal's campaign.

Mr Luff said: "Many people think they can just throw away their rubbish by dumping it on someone else's doorstep. The Evesham Journal is absolutely right in highlighting the damage that is being done to this beautiful part of the country.

"I hope this campaign makes people more aware of what they are doing and what other people are doing as well."

Readers have also been asked to call the Journal's newsdesk with any reports of litter hotspots that need clearing.
