Thank you to the litter pickers

Sir,

Well done and thanks to the team who have done a fantastic job of clearing the mountain of litter that has been accumulating on our roadsides between Taynuilt and Oban.

Thanks must also go to the chap who has done a great job of edging both the pavements and roadside verges. What a difference this has made. And fingers crossed that the ‘big spring clean’ in Oban, organised by Maurice Wilkins, has been a huge success.

It’s a sad reflection on our society that so many still think nothing of throwing litter from their car windows or dropping it in the street.

John Hay, Taynuilt.
