As we walked through Stainforth we took away a lasting impression. There was litter, debris, fly tipping, anywhere. At the bottom of gardens, in ditches, on grass verges, chucked into fields. Fridges, doors, car parts, bottles, cans, boxes, tyres, you name it and it would be somewhere. This picture doesn't show the worst, possibly because it's truly everywhere. No doubt there are other places like it, but we named Stainforth the litter capital of South Yorkshire. Hopefully they will soon have plans for a local week/month of action to clear it all up.
