Take home your rubbish

Sir,

I would like to comment on the fact that there is so much concern for the rubbish which is thrown up onto our beaches, and yet the rubbish thrown onto the verges and the laybys in this area is so disgusting.

I absolutely agree that something should be done about the rubbish in the sea that eventually gets washed up on the shore.

However over the last few weeks several residents of Lochgair have done a great job clearing a mile either side of the village collecting 25 bags of rubbish, two car tyres and the front bumper of a car.

When we do our beach clean, usually in the spring time, although not this last year, we do collect a lot of rubbish but usually from a much wider area.

I just wish people would take their rubbish home with them – surely it is not too much to ask?

Argyll deserves to be kept beautiful so that everyone can enjoy it.

Fred Bruce, Lochgair
