Entitled tourists.

Campervans emptying their waste both litter and fluid down grass bankings. Anything other than to pay a fee for a site they park anywhere they want with not a thought for the environment and the locals.

Sorry pretext and on a journey away from village im not driving though

Yep we live near a village football pitch and the village road that gas bus access etc is often compromised and if we ask to stop parking on payments or grass verges we are told if you don’t line it go and live somewhere else. My property not council tax and it’s my entitlement to live there not their entitlement to snarl up the village and make it vulnerable for pedestrians etc. not to tell us to go and live elsewhere!!!

That was in reply to Jakuss

I disagree…

Where are all these coastal towns inundated with such awful people?
If it’s Southend on Sea I can believe it mind you as I visited friends who live in Westcliff on Sea last year and they took us into the centre and the beachfront….I was glad to go home.
I think the farmer did overreact with the slurry on the cars but if it was an ongoing problem he likely just lost his rag.

We never go to the central beach with all the amusements and crowds.

There is a much nicer and quieter beach at the very end. It even has sand…

My first school, 1970, had a punishment for minor things called Litter Fatigue, 20 minutes after school and no-one complained. Now, sadly the breeders of the slobs would be doing a 1/10 sad face in the papers today.
25 years ago I asked a girl to pick up the crisp bag she'd dropped and she refused, apparently that's why we employed cleaners, in fact she was creating jobs for them. Her breeder totally agreed with her when her Year Head phoned too! Oddly, her name was never drawn when there were treats available, odd that was!

The under 50s are all I'll mannered entitled louts, women included, cant string a sentence together without swearing

We have an ancient cathedral in our small city on our tiny island. Cruise ships come from all over the world to pop off passengers and crew for a day. When there are 2 or 3 vessels plus one of those multi story versions, the numbers can seem to rival the total resident population . Apart from the way I have to hop out of the way constantly - with stick and unstable hip, as they surge through our narrow lanes in great phalanxes their main barbarity is filming the cathedral as mourners arrive or depart with the funeral cortege which seems to be a regular 'must capture' on the bagging list. This has been going on for years but only reached the local paper as an issue recently, but was roundly denied as such by a 'spokesperson'......

We would never have been allowed to leave our litter as children on country picnics or on the beach. It just wouldnt have occurred to us to do so even without our parents there.

When I pass our street cleaner out with his bin on wheels most days, I always thank him for what he does. It must be like painting the Forth Bridge. Never ending. We need another person and they should be funded paetially by all the local shops and cafes. Even if the extra person is just during the summer period.

Drive throughs and takeaway food places should be responsible for the litter they create. Their business model of selling food to be eaten somewhere else just pushes the costs of waste disposal onto the council tax payers. They should pay a tax on whatever they sell which goes to the council to pay for the cleaning up and bin provision and emptying.

Would traffic wardens be able to help with this?

It’s private land not a public highway.

Absolutely MollyNew, we had to pick up every scrap before we went home. My mum also kept a bag in the car for everyday use to keep the car clean and tidy.

Not the litter, but the selfish parking.

There is a public pool in one of the nicest areas of my home town, Wolverhampton. It is a lovely community resource which everyone can enjoy. However, it's inevitably spoilt by lazy, ignorant people who can't be bothered to take their rubbish home. I have heard from relatives that there is an article in the local paper this week showing a video of the "carnage" which council workers have had to tidy up over the past few days.

I used to work at a public building where there was a large car park. Families visiting would eat a McDonalds in their car, drop all the packaging out of the windows and drive away, leaving a car shaped pile of litter.

I just can't understand why people don't put all their rubbish in a bag and take it home. It isn't difficult to do. I try not to say "when I was a girl, it was different" but it was. If we went for a picnic with my parents, we would take our litter home and it would go in the bin. It wouldn't have crossed our minds to drop it on the ground and walk away.

I live in a market town that's well & truly on the tourist trail. Definitely noticed it's a lot busier since after covid. I agree with others, many people visiting leave their manners behind at home. Sorry to say campervaners are the worst, maybe because when I was a child people had vans filled them with supplies and drove off into the wilderness 😂Now they cause mayhem parking or trying to park in our medieval town. Don't get me started about them parking in random places which block roads & visibility 🫣 Three cheers for that farmer 👏!!!

In our town several of the big litter bins have been removed. Goodness know why.

We have a street cleaner who does his very best to clean the streets, but the rubbish from Sat and Sunday nights is shocking. They could take it home with them of course. But they dont. Whether they would actually use the litter bins is a bit doubtful,but their absence doesn't help.
I have empty bottles pushed into my lavender bushes!!
Good thing we arent allowed guns. I would be tempted.

Reading about the head not allowing children to pick up litter outside the school...there could be a worry about needles and dangerous and nasty things. But they should be allowed/forced to pick up litter in the school playground. Each class could take a turn and have proper litter pickers and bags.

Well done that farmer!💩💩😅

I live in Hove : it to mention the litter lours on our beaches? What gives these people the right to leave their mess on our beaches! Can’t imagine what their mucky homes must be like!

I sympathise entirely with the farmer.

I used to live in Sandwich where a three day festival was celebrated each month from May to August. Items packed. I was very impressed the way that every scrap of rubbish was removed by the next morning. Yes, there were giant bins everywhere , but nevertheless the council made sure it was spotless by the next day.
