Until we understand that we are all involved, not just our local authority litter-pickers, we will not make things better.
In only five out of some thirty-four districts in which imported hop-pickers are employed have the local authority failed to make by-laws.
Anyone who knows hop-pickers also knows that they go out to the fields at a certain time of year.
Sadly, the only reliable pickers that may be easily employed are foreign students.
The hop pickers are being bracketed with the harvest workers.
The hop-pickers wait until the hops are ready, and then there is a sudden outflow of people from all parts.
Take for example the hop-pickers, the fruit gatherers, and so on.
