You don't seem to understand the logistics and costs as to supervising people like this..
1# There will be approval needed for supervisors
2# The costs involved and type of supervision needed will mean that these will not be the people who normally pick up the litter and will expect twice the wages of the original people.
3# The council will be expected to pay the supervisors
4# the original litter pickers will not be needed as the council have now a glut of litter pickers though they'll probably get more work from the one they just fired than a dozen of the new people who they don't pay for and don't want to be there..
50+ years ago I would have agreed with you but now everything is so compartamentalised
(sp?) that it will be a drain on the economy and in the end is just a way of getting people off the unemployment figures
Instead what they need to do is to bring back training, bring back support for new businesses and create the jobs instead of pushing people sideways into meaningless labor.. That way they'd have a hope of cutting off benefits to those who do nothing and they would then be forced into jobs that are there and not poverty
