I have recently driven along the A31 several times, passing Wimborne, and have been shocked at how much rubbish lies on the road verges.

I know that a lot of undergrowth has been cut down but the underlying mess has not been cleared even though the bushes have been.

What a shame that the approach to a lovely little town is so spoiled.

I notice that outside other towns there is nothing like as much debris.

I really hope that next time I drive by, the appropriate council department has noticed the mess and done something about it.
