The underpass for the A17 at Park Road in Holbeach is regularly the target for graffiti artists and the area around suffers from litter and broken glass.

Philip Wiseman nominated the area as a grot spot when we launched our campaign last year and says it creates a bad impression of the town for visitors.

He said: "This is part of the national cycle route and it's abysmal that it is our contribution to it.

"Holbeach is trying to resurrect itself and this is an entrance to the town. If you see this why would you want to go on into the town?"

He uses a hand-held litter picker to clear his street, Cherry Tree Lane, and the council's clean-up team also collected rubbish that had been dumped there.

He believes people need to change their ways or be more seriously punished.

He said: "We have to get the people who are responsible for things like the underpass.

"All we keep doing is maintaining it at a cost to the taxpayer and if you allow this to happen it leads on to more serious things.

"I don't think there's any pride. Most people are honest people but nobody's listening to them so they have gone quiet.

"We should be shouting louder and louder otherwise what is it going to be like for the next generation?"

Street cleansing supervisor Ernie Ward said the graffiti always reappears when it is removed and is a costly job.

He said: "I blame the parents.

"You can't blame the council for the council tax bill going up because it is the kids who are doing things like this."
