A chippy that opened last August, could be contributing towards the litter in a local community in West Bromwich. Big Johns, which has branches around Birmingham, had applied for a license to be open until 5am in the weekdays and their application for the license had been granted.
The main problem that the local resident had with this is that this would create much unwanted litter. However I was wondering, whose responsibility is it for this litter to be picked up?
Of course it is the customers’ responsibility not to throw the rubbish onto the floor in the first place, however, when the rubbish is on the floor, is it the owners of Big Johns duty to clear it up? Is it the local Sandwell Council that should clear it? Or is it the local residents that are left to clear up the mess.
I personally feel as though the owner of Big Johns, are responsibile for clearing up the mess. Is it ok for them to rake in the cash, but not to help clear the mess that they inevitably help to create?
