PAYING someone to pick up litter at Pixham Ferry, on the River Severn, could be cheaper than constantly replacing stolen or vandalised bins.
Powick Parish Council heard that the bin, which was housed in a concrete base, had disappeared and litter was strewn about the picnic area.
New member Jim Allsopp suggested it might be better to pay a retired person £5 per week to take on the job of picking up the litter, "as a matter of pride."
