Holywell Verge Litter

Posted on by

From the letters page of the Glenside News (December 2010) …

As Wayside Warden on three of the important verges in Holywell, I regularly collect the rubbish littered on them.

I have spent hours recently picking up a large amount of folded computer paper littering the verges from Holywell to Vale Farm crossroads.  It is a soul destroying job and makes me very angry that such little consideration is given to the beautiful areas in which we live.

If this is a minor throwing paper from a car window – then adults should have more influence.  If it is an adult, then words fail me. There is enough fast food litter to cope with besides this tedious addition – for the second year in succession!
