Anti-Litter Crusader becomes 50,000th 101 Caller

Sheffield businessman Peter Rickard-Green has become the 50,000th caller to the city's successful 101 service after he became a man with a simple mission and a care for his community.
Peter, of Melrose Road, Burngreave, wanted to be able to make the 15-minute walk to work without seeing the neighbourhood he grew up in regularly scarred by flytipping and litter. When he began walking to his office in Nursery Street just a few months ago, he became more and more aware of the impact that flytipping and litter was causing in local green spaces.
He turned to 101 and has since became a regular caller - notching up a dozen calls and getting prompt action from the Council's Street Force team. His last call to 101, reporting two dumped fridges, became the 50,000th call to the 101 since the service was launched in Sheffield last June.
