I would like to point out a definite 'problem area', which I'm sure you already are aware of. It is the walkway between the bottom of Green Street going towards the Havre des Pas swimming pool. (The swimming pool end where the shelter is in particular) There is always empty glass alcohol bottles and cans left in and around the shelter and I've seen broken bottles which must have been thrown from the shelter onto the rocks/beach in front of the shelter on numerous occasions. Obviously some groups are using it for their partying as the multi-pack packaging is also thrown onto the beach. The usual rubbish food cartons and plastic bags also litter the whole of this strip - usually near the bench seating. I'm not sure if this is supposed to be a pedestrian only walkway but when my grandchildren were visiting during the summer holidays we used it a lot to get to the pool and encountered young lads, with no thought at all for the little children/holidaymakers, doing 'wheelies' along there showing off. When they were told off their language was terrible. This problem is possibly only during the holiday periods - I don't know. It did not show Jersey in a good light.
Another area that needs to be targeted is the fast food outlets on beaches. I'm thinking of the Burger Bar and the other 'beach hut' on the slipway at Bel Royal but I've noticed this problem all over the island. The litter that comes from these eating places is incredible. Customers are very careless with their left over polystyrene dishes and paper serviettes etc which, obviously, tend to blow off tables - being so close to the open beach areas. I feel that the proprietors should be made to make an effort to keep the areas outside their premises clear of litter and if they continue to ignore the mess after being given a warning then I think they should have their licences to operate taken from them. Many a time I have seen littered tables and litter blowing about when the staff are standing around inside their cabins waiting for customers, ignoring the mess.
Thank you for trying to do something about this problem. Angela Ruddy
