Apathy blamed for 'this shocking plastic river' in Sleaford

Public apathy is being blamed for a constant flow of rubbish in a waterway dubbed a "shocking plastic river".

The River Slea, in Sleaford, Lincolnshire, is blighted by waste which gathers at a narrow channel in the town centre, campaigners say.

The town's mayor, Grenville Jackson, said the problem was largely caused by people's laziness.

"People throw it down and walk off - as far as they are concerned it's not there anymore," he said.

When you deconstruct a society and undermine one's local and national identity, a loss of civic pride and care for ones surroundings is always quick to follow.
