Litter picking

We had a go at cleaning up the village today, not a lot of interest from the general public, 5 turned up. It's a pity those who mob the council when they want something are not public spirited enough to turn out to help.
We collected around 25 bags of rubbish in a couple of hours, and could have gone on and collected more, where does all that grot come from? Cans and sweet wrappers for the most part but some bin bags full of household waste were found which surely ought to have gone in the wheelie bin. There will have to be a few letters to local business' to clear up their own patch, a few minutes per day would be enough to keep things tidy.
