A local commissioner is trying to raise awareness for the litter problem he claims is plighting the Island.

David Radcliffe asked for his Rushen Commissioner peers to support his letter to MHKs regarding a problem with littering around the Isle of Man.

Onchan MHK Rob Callister has picked up David's letter and will be asking Minister for Environment, Food and Agriculture how many people have been prosecuted for littering since 2010.

Mr Radcliffe says he hopes the question will draw attention to the issue:
