I went for a walk this morning (trying to get fit uummm ) I walked over the switchback from Clayton to Harwood on through Tottleworth and back over Rishton fields towards Clayton and I couldnt believe what a site some of the places have become. For a start what used to be quite a decent walk over the switchback is now like walking through a tip. As you approach were the `allotments` are there`s mounds of rubbish and as you pass on by the allotments its the same, rubbish, rubbish and more rubbish.
There are some people down there who do care about their little peices of land and are a credit to the environment, but overall its a blot on the landscape. Its not just there either, all over theres rubbish, wheres it coming from? People used to have pride in their towns and allotments. I know its been windy but the rubbish has been dumped to start with.
