Our litter problem is getting no better. On Anti-Litter Week volunteers of ever creed and colour came out and cleaned up the whole area, now alas our roadsides are worse than ever. On some roads the Co. Council cleaned all the margins of grass and mud, great in one way but now all the rubbish thrown out of cars is clearly visible and is ruining the fine work done by the Council. Could we once again ask people to please refrain from this dreadful habit.
Please be reminded that our fine recycling centre takes bags of rubbish for landfill now also for a nominal fee.
