Hi all,
Whilst I regularly visit the site to see what is happening I don't usually post but feel really strongly about this and was wondering if others feel the same. Our town is literally disappearing under its own feculence. When you walk around the litter problem just seems to be getting worse and whilst I commend the Borough Council in their efforts they just don’t seem to be getting on top of the problem. I regularly walk around streets that are local to my house and I can quite literally pick up handfuls of empty beer cans, bottles, crisp bags etc within a few yards – it is so soul destroying as I know that when I next venture out the following day it will more than likely all be back again. People look at you as if you are mad but I just can't walk past and leave it there - litter attracts more litter and so picking it up and putting it in the bin seems a must.
The situation is the same in the town centre and in more or less all areas around the town, there is no escape.
We have such a lovely town with so many areas of interest I just can’t understand why people wish to mess it up in this way. In bad economic times it hardly shouts “come live, work, visit and invest here” when you are constantly faced with walkways strewn with rubbish. It really gets me down.
