A local resident who visited the riverside on Sunday to listen to the bands in the Park at Ross bandstand has complained that the overflowing litter bins along the river side gave a very bad impression of the town.

he gentleman told the Ross Gazette that he had been so proud of Ross which had hosted the County Rally on the same day, but had felt ashamed seeing the amount of litter in and around the bins.

Councillor Richard Mayo also contacted the Ross Gazette because, as he is the new chairman of the Open Spaces Committee on Ross-on-Wye Town Council, he felt something needed to be done about it.
