Rubbish: Once again the surgery car park is overflowing with rubbish. This time an extensive collection of wine bottles. And I wasn't invited to the party!! To be charitable, perhaps people are unaware that the recycling people won't touch anything outside the bins, which means that all this extra rubbish will not only hang around for a long time, but will also incur costs to get it removed. Please, if you find the recycling bins are full, either take your rubbish back home until a later date, or just continue your journey to Mountfield tip.
