As Brighton and Hove City Council seems to be finding it difficult to make ends meet, I'd like to suggest a money-raising scheme in the form of a lottery.

Instead of guessing numbers, entrants would have to guess:

3 How many bags will be strewn across the street after a collection.

Part of the prize could be a refuse lorry so the lucky winner would always know when their rubbish would be cleared and could show CityClean how to do it.
