No refuse collection for three weeks over Christmas and then they refuse to take the excess away. Thought that's what council tax was for? Miles Anne,

I agree with what you say and the points of your commentators. Dumped rubbish has always infuriated me. It has to be said that this topic has been raised on many occasions and by individual groups. Even in this town there have been people organising rubbish pick ups over specific days. I believe that things have improved somewhat and fines are now imposed, if caught. I was always dismayed at the lack of bins available but even this has been improved. It is important to keep raising this issue like you have done to influence and alter individual behaviour and understanding. Anne Miles

Could I just suggest one point here about the specific subject. Littering at sea ! As I understand it quite a bit of what gets washed up on the beaches is actually discarded from boats / ships at sea. There really i sno excuse for any of it - just take your rubbish home with you Whether your walking down the road or in the middle of the ocean Cheers Rod Miles,

I want to try and raise awareness in a way which is easily digested and hopefully thought provoking. It's not always easy to understand the science behind some of the issues and I think this stops a lot of people from looking at it further. We can all do our bit, I'll never be a scientist or give it all up to live on a Greenpeace ship in the Atlantic but I can do my bit, however significant. I'm not trying to preach because I'm not perfect, it's just conservation through my eyes, that's all. Miles Annie,
