16 Bags of litter have been collected by the group in October. On one particular day 2 members of the group had a successful but very disheartening time collecting 9 bags of rubbish, 7 of which were from the field at the bottom of Nabbs Lane. One passer-by said they shouldn’t bother as it would be just as bad the following day and another lady said she was on the field earlier when there was a football match and saw people finishing their bottled drinks and just throwing them down. What absolutely shameful behaviour! Our litter pickers said that it looked as though a lorry had scattered a full load all around the area.
They would have collected more but didn’t take enough bags with them. They shouldn’t have to! Litter louts should be responsible for their own actions and dispose of their litter in a responsible manner but – non multum spei.
