Litter - A Bank Holiday Monday Musing

A mystery akin to how they put a ship in a bottle - why dispose of a bottle in a bush??

We find many strangely discarded items on our Imby patrols, but this bottle caused pause for thought. Why was somebody drinking from such a large bottle in the bus stop? Was it filled with some "intoxicator"?

We would urge our fellow Bebingtonians to help clean up our environment. So next time you see a bottle in a bush, take it home with you and dispose of it properly. With this small action we can all help make Bebington a Brighter place to be. And remember to recycle!

Seating Graffiti Needs Deleting

Obscene graffiti has been scratched into this bench on the green space near the Civic Centre, overlooking The Village. We can only imagine how uncomfortable this must make people feel should they wish to sit there for sandwiches or some other portable snack.

We've hastily reported this horror and hope action will be taken quickly.

Note - the distasteful obscenity in evidence here has been obscured on our photo for the sake of decency.

Sealed Bin - Can't Fit Anything In

Bank Holidays provide the opportunity for us to undertake a thorough Imby Patrol whilst combining this with a more relaxing gentle stroll. We'd encourage our fellow (and fellowess) Bebingtonians to do the same.

Today we passed this bin outside the shops on Bebington Road. No doubt sited there by Council officials to ensure sufficient provision for the shops and take-it-away food outlets on the strip.

As you can imagine, we were dismayed on two counts. Firstly, for some reason the receptacle appears sealed off with plastic. Secondly, this still doesn't seem to have prevented passers-by attempting to shove litter in any way they could.

We've made enquiries to the Council Department about the longer-term future for this bin.
