Sir, - I agree entirely with John McCarthy (May 3rd). I am ashamed that a lovely city is desecrated in this way. However I feel that part of the problem is that there aren't enough litter bins and those that are provided are often full to overflowing. This does not excuse people throwing litter on the ground, but how many will realistically carry it around all day?
The provision of more bins might alleviate part of our problem and we would feel less embarrassed in front of our guests and tourists. - Yours, etc.,Margaret Butler,
