Litter shame

I OFTEN drive on motorways where the amount of rubbish thrown from vehicles is a disgrace (Letters).

If the local councils don’t have the resources to clear it up, why can’t people on community service do so? I take a bin liner with me when I go for a walk and pick up sweet wrappers, paper and cola bottles in fields, alongside roads and on paths.

We should be ashamed that visitors to this country have to see all this rubbish.

TILLY BROWN, address supplied. I AM surprised you can be fined for littering if you remove a stone from your shoe when, for a decade, dumped cars and rubbish have been an eyesore at Pentraeth, Anglesey. The council is terrified of doing anything because the situation has been caused by travellers. J. E. SINGFIELD, Amlwch Port, Anglesey. A FEW weeks ago, I visited Scotland’s lochs and glens, where the unspoilt scenery was stunning. But a recent trip to Dorset was ruined by the plastic waste on almost every grass verge.
