WE have recently moved into the Christchurch area having come from West Sussex.

We can’t believe the amount of rubbish on the road verges.

The A338 towards Ringwood is especially bad and looks like a lorry load of garbage has been strewn along the entire length of the road. Perhaps Dorset County Council has decided to cut the service.

Very disappointing.

Especially as the council tax is far higher than where we came from – and our roads were clean.

I hope this will all be cleared away before the start of the tourist season as it isn’t a very good advert for the area.
