Litter pick by 'coil' art of canal art trail by bridge 3 This is a 'hotbed' for flytipping. I repeatedly report this to Council and CRT. The Council needs to start taking responsibility, even if it is the CRT who is 'in charge' of the canals and rivers of the country. It is Coventry City residents who are being the scumbags and the Council do not deserve to be free of this responsibility! This week I have seen it used as a urinal as well as a general bin. It has been used in the past as a sleeping spot, as a bar, as an underage secret smokers' spot, everything it's not there for basically. I spotted a whole bunch of plastic and card cartons dumped there yesterday with a moorhen pecking around it. I told it to go away as it was nasty and not good and this morning filled an Aldi bag for life...
turns out it was Jack Daniels gift sets - at least 5 or 6 - Jack Daniels you should know better - when are alcohol companies going to realise the poison they sell affects the mental capacity or lack thereof of its drinkers to the point where they lose all self-respect and consequently any consideration for others, whether human or animal, encourage and enable them to litter and harm their environment as much as themselves. Drinks companies have a lot to answer for and need to take a long hard look at themselves! There were also lots of plastic wipes. Yes these are plastic. No they do not biodegrade. They break up into smaller bits. And a sodden nappy :( Not a fun pick but still I hope it deters the next person who sits here from adding to the litter that is now no longer there..
