Please may I make a request, in the form of an open letter, to the person who walks a black dog and deposits household waste in the litter bin at the gate of Asker Meadows on an almost daily basis (as well as other council bins). Living near these bins is being made rather unpleasant by the smell of refuse, not mention how unsightly it is when the dog poo bags overflow as the bin is over-filled.

My neighbours and I wonder why we should endure your domestic waste? We remind you that your actions are fly-tipping and therefore illegal.

There are rubbish collections every week here in Bridport and we respectfully request that you take advantage of them and not inflict your waste on our neighbourhood.
