St Martins Battery
- 30 March 2013 22:26222945This was the scene that greeted us at the battery when we popped up there tonight to watch the Aida Stella go out. We took a coffee with us and it would have been nice on such a lovely evening. Anyway I picked it all up and put it in our boot to dispose of. How much effort would it have taken to walk a few steps to the rubbish bin supplied there - I give up
There's always a little truth behind every "Just kidding", a little emotion behind every "I don't care" and a little pain behind every "I'm ok". - 30 March 2013 22:33222946Sometimes it's not the fault of careless litterbugs. I've seen the waste bins full to the brim and the gulls raid them in the only way they can and spread detritus all over the place. What's needed are better designed bins, more of them and more regular emptying. The same applies to the promenade.
Don't forget the dearth of bins on the beach itself there being only three or so screwed precariously to a fence post.
I've found two bins cast adrift and about to be swept away last year but they just put them back in the same fashion with a single screw fixed to the wooden post.
Daft! - 31 March 2013 10:18222973the bin up at st martins is emptied regularly, just slobbish people cause the mess.
