I NOTE that recently a couple of individuals were fined for dumping rubbish at the Millwood entrance to Porthkerry Park.

Perhaps this will send the correct signal to whoever has dumped the substantial pile of prunings from their leylandii trees on the footpath leading from Nant Talwg Way down to the gate into the Millwood.

I’d see this as equivalent to dumping plastic and other household rubbish and the punishment for doing this should be as severe – it’s not as if we don’t have municipal sites and collection arrangements so that this sort of waste can be disposed of appropriately.

Laziness and a lack of communal pride - unfortunately these seem to be the traits of a significant number our local so-called ‘citizens’.
