Dear Spurtle
We live in close proximity to Old Broughton.
There are three recycling bins for paper, cardboard and packaging material.
However some very anti-social folk regularily dump bottles there, which is a potential hazard for pets and children.
This has now been compounded with a new trend – fly tipping. And when one person has dumped something it seems
others want to join in. It started with a fridge freezer. Then an oil-filled radiator came along, closely followed by an upholstered chair.
It’s sad that the dumpers don’t take a pride in our neighbourhood.

PS: Since this photo was taken, another kind soul has added a folding table to the ever expanding collection of items ... Once the precedent has been set, there's no stopping them.
