I agree. I am also outraged by the broken glass left on sidewalks in that area. Very dangerous for pets!
Sent from my iPhoneLet's do a big neighborhood clean up and then just leave the trash bags at the school's doorsteps. They might take the issue more seriously then.On Thu, Feb 27, 2014 at 6:38 AM, Emily Orr <emily.g.orr@gmail.com> wrote:We moved here in 2007, and this issue has come up many times. We talked about it at our community meetings and neighborhood watch meetings.There was a general vibe that the community should not bother the school with it. We have taken the "nice guy" approach, and it accomplishes nothing. There have been some neighborhood cleanup events, but Steve is right. It shows the school that the neighbors will clean it up.Perhaps it is time to push a little harder. I suggest you take some pictures of this - "Every time I emerge from the woods with a bag full of plastic and styrofoam, I vow to not let this culture of littering stand." - and contact the local news.Dr. Emily G.

Rather than merely sweep up after its' students, I feel that there needs to be an elevated level of enforcement, if necessary through video surveillance and strict penalties up to and including revoking a student's ability to park in the vicinity. I personally have been picking up litter around the school for years and while the surface outward areas appear mainly clean most of the time, the wooded areas and the creek are continually overrun with the most heinous, aggravated trashing possible. I have spoken with Enloe officials in the past and I feel they have concern and have taken some action, but clearly it is not enough. Every time I emerge from the woods with a bag full of plastic and styrofoam, I vow to not let this culture of littering stand. The people of Longview Gardens are not pigs. We are merely visited by pigs five days a week and I'd like to say that we've had enough of it. I attended Enloe High School in the 70s and this was not EVEN an issue. It would have been ridiculously unheard of...SincerelySteve Barbour
