As I have travelled the highways and byways over the last few weeks I have noticed the accumulation of vast amounts of general litter on the verges and in the hedgerows. This does appear way worse than it ever has been.
Stopped briefly at a Little Chef car park; which I am also informed is a meeting place for local 'hot shot pilots', and it was an utter disgrace. Would certainly have put me off even going into the place. Although a bin is provided they do not appear to have any strategy for a staff member to nip round on a regular basis. And of course it breeds. Its the broken window syndrome, once one is broken the whole neighbourhood goes downhill.
Do we just expect the council to go round picking up everyone's mess? They will be a bit busy with pothole filling for a long time and then there are the budgetary cut backs.
This country is becoming a mess in more ways than one. Have we no pride at all?
