Regarding your story about chewing gum and its effect on our streets (The Argus, February 17), it amazes me there is no tax on it.
This would help with the clean-up.
On another note, there may already be laws for littering which I am sure would cover the dropping of gum in streets and so on but, as with so many laws,who would police them?
Laws and new legislation are constantly introduced but to no effect because the people who introduce them do not take into account the real-world costs of policing them.
