Council should set example

WE have received another box for recycling. This I have no qualms about. What annoys me is that I live looking out on a green area that is large enough for children to play football and other games on.

I would like to know why we are encouraged to keep all our grass cuttings and garden waste in a brown bin and yet the council can cut large areas and leave it scattered all over the paths and the area around. It's about time they practise what they preach.

I know it's another moan about recycling but a good one to bring up. Hope they take note of this.
