What a load of rubbish we have in Rother

Does this mean that we will pay less for our garden waste disposal?

The concern also arises of people fly tipping. The countryside is already blighted by selfish ignorant individuals dumping their unwanted garbage in woods and hedgerows.

Apparently it is not illegal to have a bonfire, but there again we must consider other people, they do pollute the atmosphere and may increase discomfort for asthma sufferers and other chest conditions.

Life is all about having a little consideration for others especially in these strange times. Who knows, it may be a kinder world when all this Covid-19 blows over, but I won’t hold my breath!

A message from the Editor, Gary Shipton: In order for us to continue to provide high quality and trusted local news, I am asking you to please purchase a copy of our newspapers.

With the coronavirus lockdown having a major impact on many of our local valued advertisers - and consequently the advertising that we receive - we are more reliant than ever on you helping us to provide you with news and information by buying a copy of our newspapers.

Our journalists are highly trained and our content is independently regulated by IPSO to some of the most rigorous standards in the world. But being your eyes and ears comes at a price. So we need your support more than ever to buy our newspapers during this crisis.

Stay safe, and best wishes.
