Letter: Why is there so much litter?

Letter: Rubbish on Shropshire's streets? Was anyone surprised by such headlines? No matter where you go you will see some form of rubbish. How do you stop it?

There seems to be a bin on every street corner but I've witnessed people drop litter rather than walk a few steps to the bin.

Schoolchildren to blame: Does that mean parental guidance or education?

Adults: Does that come down to how society seems to have gone, where standards and morals seem to have gone out the window?

Many laws have been created by this present government but still standards slide.

How do you stop it? Perhaps a start would be for officials of councils and housing trusts to leave their offices and walk the estates.
