DOES THIS LOOK LIKE ZERO TOLERANCE ?
These photographs were taken in late Spring 2009 and are evidence of the anti social behaviour that takes place regularly on Woodhouse Moor. How can Leeds City Council allow such behaviour when at page 27 of its Vision for Leeds 2004 to 2020, it claims :
Making Leeds Europe’s cleanest and greenest city is an important principle for our Vision and we will launch a project to improve pride in the city. The project will:
- draw together the actions of many organisations and businesses in Leeds to reduce litter, wastefulness and pollution;
- promote individual rights and responsibilities to tackle these problems;
- challenge those who create problems for others to solve;
- create a zero-tolerance culture – the council and the Environment Agency will work together to reduce litter, abandoned cars, graffiti, stray dogs and dog fouling;
- encourage big public-sector organisations like the council, universities, health service and private businesses to reduce waste, limit pollution and use natural resources much more efficiently; and
- improve the quality of and access to our local parks and green spaces.
