Dear Sir,
Personal responsibility can’t be given, it can only be accepted.
Most people take a pride in their homes and their community but, unfortunately, not everyone is blessed with this positive attitude. You can tell someone they are personally responsible till you are blue in the face but until we, as individuals, accept that responsibility to do our bit to improve our community and quality of life nothing will change. This photograph was sent to me of a mess left in Tesco’s car park by some less than considerate shopper.
If you are the person who did this, and live in Aycliffe, please don’t do it again and have a little more thought and consideration to the negative effect you are creating in your own town. If you are from out of town thank you for shopping with us, your money is more than welcome, but your rubbish and waste certainly isn’t. Please come again but next time please dispose of your waste properly or better still take it home with you.
Cllr Phillip Hawkins
