Brede

What Cleanliness!: We have just returned from the Dordogne area of France, it was of course beautiful, but this was enhanced by not having a scrap of rubbish. We travelled from Toulouse Airport and going along the motorway it was such a pleasure not to have the senses jarred by that yet again bit of litter. In the Medieval City of Carcassonne hundreds of visitors poured into the walled area, but by the time the evening meals were being eaten and the day visitors had gone the area was spotless once more. The little vans came around early morning and evening to empty the bins, they also could have done a lunch pick up but we were not around then to know.I fervently wish that it could be like that in our beautiful Country. Please can I ask readers of this column to contact either Rother District Council if you see fly tipping, East Sussex County Council Highways department if you see litter on trunk routes or Highways England. I have done this recently and have been assured that the A27 between Eastbourne and Newhaven will be cleared of litter. If we all call the above when we see litter maybe we will eventually make a difference. If teachers are reading this please along with parents reiterate to students to take their litter home or bin it.
