COUNCILLORS have called for routes into Darlington to become rubbish-free zones.
The state of the key approaches to the town centre was raised at a meeting of the borough council's environment scrutiny committee yesterday.
Councillor Heather Scott highlighted the stretch of Grange Road, leading past the rugby club, as a problem area.
"The amount of litter that is thrown out of cars is horrendous," she said.
Shane Shrimpton, of the council's environmental services department, said efforts were under way to spruce up all areas of the town, as part of a Street Scene project.
