ALTHOUGH I do not condone the dumping of rubbish in country lanes (Wiltshire Times, November 9) I can't help thinking this may be a result of our local authority axing the community skips some time ago. We seem to pay more and more in council tax and get less and less in services. At a risk of sounding cynical, it would appear the council have brought this problem on themselves.
