LETTERS – Town mess is such a disgrace

I remember town years ago being much cleaner than it is today.

If you were thinking of visiting, don’t bother, you will be very disappointed, litter is everywhere more so in some spots than others.

Shop keepers don’t help with empty wooden pallets and plastic left outside their shop fronts. Westlode Street, in particular, is the worst.

I have attached a few pictures – most of what I have provided has been there for more than a couple of days.

I think it is disgraceful that shop keepers get away with thinking this is ok, and as for South Holland Distrist Council, well I am lost for words – start enforcing the rules, issuing fines for those responsible.
