Letter: Horror at litter trail in Rusper
I LIVE in the picturesque village of Rusper and have done so since emigrating from Australia some 30 years ago.
There is a 400 yard stretch of East Street where my property is located and I regularly ‘litter pick’ as I have a strong sense of pride in my adopted country.
I hadn’t carried out this project for four months until January 22.
To my horror I picked up about 300 items including eight Blossom Hill wine bottles, 17 energy drink cans, 32 beer cans, 21 cigarette packets and 42 chip and confectionery packets.
What a mess and what does each generation teach the next with regard to common sense?
I have sent a photograph - and as I have said this is only 400 yards of a small rural lane; god knows what the rest of the country is experiencing!

Taxed
Tuesday, January 31, 2012 at 09:18 PMThere is litter everywhere and WSCC do not clear it from road verges. It makes the county look disgusting. But then they have more important things to do with the council tax such as funding their pension schemes and striking if minor changes are made to them, evn if they only affect future accuruals of service.
