The amount of people looking for employees their is no need for any able body’s to be on the dole anyway, and if they are perhaps a spell at the littler encourage them to get a job , some need forced to work.I doubt you would pick litter for the same amount as dole. I don't mean that as a put down, just that dole money is hardly a fair days wage for picking litter especially when you see council workers sleeping in their vans for half the day on a back road. Employ the unemployed to do it for a fair rate, not dole. How many times have you seen a crew ( umpteen ) of council workers to do slap dash repairs to pot holes? Amongst roadside litter there are bottles of lorry drivers pish, discarded drug abusers needles etc. I wouldn't do it for dole money.
