Further to recent comments about our litter-strewn highways, I think maybe the A31 Ferndown bypass takes some beating.

The amount and variety of rubbish among the roadside bushes is truly unbelievable.

What a wonderful impression of our area this will give to the Olympic convoys as they sweep through the area towards Weymouth – unless, of course, the council springs into action with a huge clean-up operation!
