VIDALIA — The Concordia Parish Police Jury is asking residents to help the parish catch litterbugs on Moose Lodge Extension.

Juror Willie Dunbar brought the littering concern to the jury’s attention at its Tuesday meeting, and the jury decided to ask residents to report the license plate numbers of litterers to the police jury or Concordia Parish Sheriff’s Office.

“It’s a never-ending thing at the same spot (on Moose Lodge Extension),” Police Jury President Melvin Ferrington said Wednesday. “People are dumping trash out there pretty much every week.”
