From Liz Fairclough, Brading:
I notice you are promoting a campaign to get rid of the litter and flytipping that is ruining this beautiful island. Where I live (Brading), I regularly walk the roads with my BAG ( bag and glove).
Lots of people say what a good job I am doing, which is kind, but what we really need is a campaign from a local and influential source such as yourself to get people taking a BAG (bag and glove) out on their walk.
If we all did this once a week, we could really make a difference.
Secondly, the litter is principally plastic bottles and takeaway cups/ boxes etc from KFC/McDonalds etc.
With your influence, could we at least persuade these lucrative businesses to at least sell only reusable cups.
We adapted quickly to no plastic bags - it's all a matter of habit.
My final point is frustration with the council. I have reported flytipping on the Adgestone Quiet Road twice, as each time the amount had increased.
Nothing was done at all and no reply. I walked past today and the pile is exponentially bigger - mattresses, bedroom furniture etc ( the hallmarks of several lazy house clearances).
Please apply your local pressure.
