The services of Professional Cleaning Companies such as those utilised in London may be necessary in Cardiff after a number of complaints about the state of the city.
According to residents and activists, the Welsh metropolis has a massive litter problem, despite enforcement officers having the power to issue fines if they see people dropping rubbish, the Western Mail reports.
Local man Morris Woodberry, 64, said: “North Road … is a total disgrace to what is a major arterial road to what should be our pride and joy – the Civic Centre.”
Louise Tambini from Keep Wales Tidy said more emphasis should be placed on the need to take rubbish home.
The same newspaper also recently reported that footpaths covered in discarded chewing gum and cigarette ends give an “appalling” impression to visitors.
With Cardiff a key attraction for visitors to Wales thanks to its sporting and cultural landmarks, it may be necessary to bring in commercial cleaners in a bid to ensure tourism does not suffer.
This comes after a survey by Keep Britain Tidy found that the biggest problem for cleaning companies in London is cigarette packets, with cartons making up more than half of discarded waste in the capital.
