IT looks like people are not interested in listening to the folk at Fife Council who have been asking them to be careful when they have been out and about.

I went from Cowdenbeath to Lochgelly to deliver some shopping to an elderly relative and went along the A92.

The amount of rubbish at the side of the carriageway going towards Lochgelly was unbelievable.

Now you wouldn't describe it as fly-tipping. No, it was things like paper bags, plastic bags and food wrappers along with bits and pieces of paper.

The thing was that the wind had had blown the debris about and it had gone onto the branches of the small trees and it really meant the whole stretch looked a mess.

Now this had been created by folk throwing things out of cars, cannot be any other way.

I suppose that maybe some drivers, or car loads, stopping at one of the lay-bys could have caused some of it but certainly not it all.

There is also a fair chance that not one perpetrator will have come from the Cowdenbeath or Lochgelly areas, maybe they were simply passing through heading towards Kirkcaldy or Glenrothes.

There was something online on the Times website with the council asking for people to look after their own area.

But what we have seen on he A92 is folk simply not caring at all what they do because it is seen as a road connecting two areas.

What has been caused is a mess and it is simply something that these people who caused it should be ashamed of.

How do we stop it? A difficult question.
