I just wanted to share what I have just seen on my evening dog walk in the Carrs. I experienced the same yesterday but was hoping it was a one off, but obviously not. My husband came across a very kind local man this morning who was clearing up yesterday's mess, then by this evening we find more of the same. This is a disgrace and inexcusable!
It is great that people want to meet up and picnic in these beautiful surroundings, but the Carrs will not stay beautiful for much longer if these selfish people continue to leave their rubbish.
I am struggling for words to express how angry this makes me feel, and I am sure the same can be said for the rest of our community.
As we are now approaching the summer, and with so many people not at school or work, this is certainly an area that requires some immediate attention from our local council and police if we are to eliminate such disgraceful behaviour.

Here's what readers have had to say so far. Why not add your thoughts below.
Cheshire Police are well aware of what occurs on The Edge, apart from general rubbish that comes from the average scum bag you mention gas canisters.
I did point Cheshire Police in this direction myself at the start of the lockdown . However it would appear that , some just like those beautiful people that the French navy escort to British waters for our Coastguard to pick up can do no wrong.
What’s happening at the moment isn’t quite what was expected of this government. Coronavirus will be a get out.
Any such equipment could be relocated to other sites of regular littering to catch those who think it is an ok habit and not a social nuisance.
If anyone says that this might infringe some civil liberty or human right then they can be assigned to clean up all such examples of mess for the next 5 years!
Councillors please note: this is the sort of good use on which we expect you to spend our council tax.
There is no respect anymore from certain feral sections of society. The law is weak and there is a temerity of the authorities to do anything. No guts, no leadership at any level.
I'm afraid we can only do our bit to clear up this mess like the Wombles! I would be happy though to form some kind of surveillance group to inform the police but then they would be too busy with online hate crimes!!
I agree also with your sentiments that there is an air of indifference and "no idea what to do" attitude from the muppets who we elect to run our lives around here or employ in Cheshire East via our council tax or via our various taxes taken from us by HMRC (including vat).

Random racism pops up everywhere.
The A.E. park shows its now greater usage; bottles (both glass and plastic), cans, broken glass.
Can the possibility of solar powered CCTV be re-visited?
In your role as Parish Councillor, you worked hard to improve the facilities in the village. I am wondering whether you would consider putting your party allegiance to one side and nominate yourself to fill the vacancy created by Geoff Hall's resignation.
I am sorry if you felt that I was accusing you of racism.
I certainly was not and I apologise if this is what you thought.
As you can see, I was just quoting the whole post from the second poster which was initially addressed to you.
Once again, I'm sorry for the confusion.
Best wishes.
Cor Blimey! That took me by surprise!
Given my age and decrepitude I doubt I could 'keep up the good work'.
But as you are clearly a man of good taste, I'd be more than happy to sign nomination papers in your name.
Go for it!
