Clean up the roads

-

When my wife’s car was serviced recently, it was found that one of the tyres had been cut through, almost to the core.

This was something I had failed to spot, despite regular checking.

I am not trying to connect the two but, in March, I discovered numerous trapezoid/circular metal shards scattered on Oxford Road in Wokingham.

After trawling the road down to the Woosehill roundabout and back up into Holt Lane to the Twyford Road, I had collected at least 3kg of these shards.

Since then I have also found some in Tanhouse Lane.

I sometimes find piles of nails and screws by the kerbside. This sort of carelessne­ss puts all motorists at risk.

Can I ask that workmen clear up properly, and ensure that such hazardous items cannot spill from their vehicles? Arthur Road resident, Wokingham
