Smokers on the pavement near the NHS offices
Published Date:
30 January 2009 By Jenny Simpson NHS staff banned from smoking outside their offices have caused a stink by dropping cigarette ends on a public footpath.
Administrative employees at the Lancashire and South Cumbria Agency (LaSCA) offices in Caxton Road, Fulwood, have to cross the road every time they want a cigarette, because bosses banned smoking on NHS premises.
Smokers have now littered the pavement opposite their offices with dozens of discarded butts and a number of cigarette packets.
Last year, my recycling rage was directed at plastic bottles. This year, I'm going for butts, cigarette that is. Unfortunately, they are not recyclable. Just keep them off the roadways.
