I live in Loughborough and travel to Glenfield each day for work. For a number of months I have noticed the grass banks and verges on both sides of the A46 from Birstall to Anstey and A6 Loughborough to Birstall looking more like a refuse tip each week. There are now layers of rubbish; plastic, tyres, wood etc. It’s not in isolated spots but all over. I’m a nurse in Glenfield and find comfort in our beautiful countryside when driving to and from work, but right now I find the view of utter filth really upsetting, after already incredibly difficult days. Please can the council start to clean this away? I can’t imagine the harm this rubbish is causing the wildlife in the area and very low opinion of drivers passing through what used to be a lovely drive. I have never felt the need to write to a council before, so please could you look into this?
