Time in prison for the local user dumping a fair amount of litter? (9)
I believe the answer is:
stretcher
'litter?' is the definition.
(I know that stretcher can be written as stretcher)
'time in prison for the local user dumping' is the wordplay.
'time in prison' becomes 'stretch' (I've seen this before).
'for' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'the local user dumping' becomes 'er' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'stretch'+'er'='STRETCHER'
'a fair amount of' is the link.
This may not be right. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for stretcher that I've seen before include "Medics' portable bed" , "One making economies" , "patient's put on" , "Means of carrying the wounded" , "A brick; a patient transport" .)
