I am equally appalled and ashamed at the amount of litter on verges and in hedgerows along the A27 as Robert Mitchell (Letters, February 28).

Visitors to the UK will, of course, be horrified but so will caring local residents.

Before I read the letter, I was about to put pen to paper about exactly the same problem on the A27 between Brighton and Worthing.

You have to see the mess to believe it. No one seems to bother. Please, Highways Authority and local councils, take action.
