Southampton Rubbish Building Up

I was in Southampton yesterday. As a consequence of the bin men going on strike there was rubbish all over the city with mounds of bags going uncollected. In the city centre the litter bins were taped up and there was litter all over the street.

It is unclear how long this dispute will rumble on for with further strikes being threatened and both parties appearing to be firmly entrenched in their positions. More industrial action is expected to take place and it does not seem likely that things are going to improve for the people of Southampton any time soon.

One thing that people can do to help the situation is not to drop their litter when the bins are not available for use. It only makes the everything worse and the streets even more dirty.

I have read the above paragraph and it makes me sound like a sandal wearing hippie. I am not in anyway like this; however, I really hate litter!!!! 



Peace man!
