The document quite clearly states the council wants the law changed, so not only would it affect Dawlish but rest of the country too. Methinks Dawlish town councillors are getting a bit above themselves. 4a. At the same time, write to whoever is responsible to get the law changed , or voluntary - to mark all take-a-way packaging in big print: 'It's an offense to drop the container ...
I can't see anything that talks about forcing shops to change their packaging. The emphasis in on working together and encouraging changes in behaviour.
There's some bonkers proposals in that document: force takeaway shops to change their packaging because it fills the bins too quickly force them to print large warnings on the packaging that it is an offense (sic) to litter create a team of volunteer beach wardens to snoop on visitors It was obviously written by somebody with way too much time on their hands.

In fact I was gobsmacked that someone should be so ignorant of the importance of studying icebergs/caps/flows given their climatic impact).
Yup you are right. Ice is ice. No problem. Maybe go tell that to the Titanic.
I use ECHO for my repeat prescriptions and so far they have been excellent. I requested a refill on my phone on Sunday and on Tuesday they were delivered. Great service. It saves me from having to go pick it up from the pharmacy which means one less person in the queue.
