I FULLY support the anti-litter campaign you are highlighting in the Evening Times.

Too many people just casually throw rubbish on the street and it is embarrassing, as a Glaswegian, to see this.

However, I feel some people are missing the point of this campaign: to clean up Glasgow, not just its city centre. What about the North, South, East and West areas of Glasgow?

These areas are an absolute disgrace, especially the East End, which is sad to me as I love working in this area.

May I remind everyone a certain games event will be held in the East End in 2014.

So yes, I support the campaign but for all of Glasgow not just the city centre.

In our view THE £4million Clean Glasgow campaign was launched in February, with the full support of the Evening Times. At the start of the campaign, Glasgow City Council pledged to name and shame litter louts and that's exactly what we've done this week. The move has been controversial, but the majority of readers have backed our drive to rid the city of grime crime. Evening Times Editor Donald Martin said: "We published to highlight the unacceptable actions of those who blight our community and to hopefully discourage others from doing so. "We have repeatedly warned the public we would name and shame even before the litter wardens were in place."

Council eco-warriors

I found your litter lout story hilarious. Glasgow City Council see themselves as some kind of eco-warriors. I would like to name and shame the refuse collectors who are meant to pick up rubbish from people's houses.

Pleased to see action

SO pleased to read your article. I am in total support of this action being taken.

Repeat offenders

OH yes, name them. I worked for 20 years in the cleansing department in Glasgow and after you clean a place up, people just drop litter again.

Encouragement to lie

IT seems to me that what the Evening Times is saying, and it's in black and white for everyone to see, is don't pay the fine and don't admit it was you who dropped litter. It's basically your word against the wee people in dodgy green uniforms anyway, isn't it?

They've paid already

Naming and shaming people who have already been fined is not fair. They have already paid the penalty. Shame on the Evening Times.

NAME and address supplied

No right to my details

I AM am one of the guilty litter louts you referred to.

I would like to know what gives you the right to print personal details about me when, although I committed an offence, I duly paid my fine.

I find it absolutely appalling that Glasgow City Council sees fit to hand out my details to whom ever asks for them.

It would serve this country better if you named and shamed neds who regularly terrorise our citizens.

The Evening Times and Glasgow City Council should hang their heads in shame, not me.

Unforgiving society

THERE are worse crimes committed each day than dropping litter.

And there was me thinking that we, as a society, were moving away from public stonings.

A McC Glasgow

This is out of order

Nobody is saying that dropping litter is right but to name these people after they have paid their fines is out of order.

BIFFO THE BEAR Beano Town

Make them pick up

Well done to the Evening Times! People who refuse to pay fines should be ordered to clean up the streets wearing brightly coloured boiler suits.

PAUL Dumfries

Lack of bins is issue

I AM totally with the Evening Times on this campaign.

However, I do feel strongly that we need a lot more bins in Glasgow. At times it can get hard to find one. Naming offenders is great, but let's try to encourage people to take the rubbish to the bins.

Mr T Glasgow

Teach them lesson

I agree with the printing of names and addresses. Tough to the offenders. They won't show such disregard for their country next time.

GOODSTER London

No excuse for litter

Fantastic idea. About time litter louts were shamed. There's no excuse.
