I am writing to express my disgust at the way people today are too lazy to pick up the litter they drop on our roads and in our car parks.

One evening, I walked into the civic centre car park with my husband and two friends.

Someone had thrown a blue plastic bag, which had got caught in a car wheel.

As it was dark, I did not see it and caught my foot on it causing me to fall.

It bruised the right side of my face, arm and knee. My glasses also fell off and ended up badly bent. It was lucky they didn’t break.

I would like to say to all the litter louts out there to think very carefully about where you throw your rubbish.
