In stark contrast……
……….to my previous post, I am just back from my walk, during which I found that some thoughtless, inconsiderate resident has dumped all the packaging from a barbecue, including lots of plastic bags and cardboard. Also old discarded plastic picnic plates all strewn around the parkland next to Peafield School. I gathered up all the plastic bags; children play on that park and apart from that potential danger, animals are quite easily killed by suffocation in bags as they are attracted to them and curiously look inside them. There really is no excuse for this type of littering. We are all provided with a blue bin for recyclables and cardboard is the easiest of items to dispose of in the bin. Stomp on it, squash it, or tear it up……no problem. It probably took more energy to carry the load to the park than it would have taken to BIN IT! I despair!
On my return home I reported it to Grimebusters and hopefully, a team will be out to collect it very soon. Of course, every fly-tipping incident which needs attention and each piece of graffiti that calls for specialist cleansing equipment, add to Council Tax Charges which have to be budgeted to include these cleansing operations.
have your say
