SIR – Your correspondent Jim James (Letters, May 7) had me really worried as he listed all the safety equipment that a Council employee was wearing to litter pick in a fenced-off area.

I frequently litter-pick where I live, and the only equipment I have is a pair of yellow plastic gloves. Will I be arrested for not wearing boots, helmet, full face protector and a high-visibility tabard?

The area was not even fenced-off!
