Environmental, Littering and BBQ Complaint – Canal Near National Space Centre I would like to report a repeated littering and environmental problem around the canal/waterway near the National Space Centre in Leicester. Every evening, groups of people regularly gather in this area to eat and drink. They also have BBQs. After they leave, they frequently leave a large amount of rubbish behind. The problem is not limited to the canal/towpath. Rubbish is also being thrown into the nearby residential area, including empty cans, disposable plates, food containers, bottles, packaging and other waste. This is becoming a regular problem for local residents and is making the area unpleasant and untidy. There are also concerns about people having BBQs in the area, including the potential fire risk and the possibility of damage to the surrounding environment. This appears to be a repeated problem, particularly during the evening. I would ask the council/appropriate authority to please: * Investigate this location. * Check whether BBQs are permitted at this location. * Increase evening patrols or monitoring. * Consider installing additional signs about littering and BBQs. * Arrange appropriate cleaning of the affected areas. * Take enforcement action where appropriate. * Consider measures to prevent rubbish being thrown into the residential area. I am happy to provide photographs and details of the times when this regularly happens. Please could you investigate this as a recurring environmental and community problem rather than treating it as a one-off littering incident.
