Welcome. BBC Look North has learned that more than 7 tonnes of rubbish

:00:10.:00:13.

has been cleared from one of East Yorkshire's busiest roads in the

:00:13.:00:16.

last two weekends. East Riding of Yorkshire council, which is

:00:16.:00:18.

responsible for the A63, says amongst the rubbish are hundreds of

:00:19.:00:21.

bottles of urine, which have been thrown from vehicles. Kate Sweeting

reports. It's been called the gateway to

Hull and East Yorkshire, the A63 is one of the areas busiest roads, but

:00:30.:00:32.

many businesses are claiming the increasing amount of litter is

giving visitors the wrong impression. It's a problem local

MPs are now keen to solve. If you get off the ferry, it looks

unsightly, rubbish blowing around, it has been mentioned by businesses

that are interested in investing. It needs to be tidied up. It looks

:00:56.:01:00.

as if we don't care about the area. We are promoting the area. It is

not just this road but rural roads people have raised it with me. A

We want businesses to be placed in the best possible light. My

more. The biggest problem is people are lazy. Passengers chucking stuff

out. It is not a good impression. Amongst the rubbish are hundreds of

:01:56.:01:58.

bottles of urine thought to have been discarded by lorry drivers,

:01:58.:02:01.

and even syringes. Some residents have called for community payback

workers to be used to pick up litter - something the council says

:02:04.:02:07.

isn't safe. It's a dangerous road, a high-speed vehicles and we have

and motorists are not distracted. The council is now calling for more

people to report littering in the hope of encouraging drivers, to

the public ask meaningful questions about what it is all about and what

:03:43.:03:49.

we're witnessing. It is quite an amazing way of being an evangelist.

:03:49.:03:54.

With dramatic impact, Jesus was played by Mark, a role which could
