Can you see the core of a culture?
Britain has a clean culture
Streets are litter free
The outer layers reveal your first impressions, a clean image when it comes to trash.
They won't tolerate litterbugs.
You can be issued with a spot fine of £150, if caught littering, or even more if it goes to court.
They recycle religiously, and generally tend to be on top of the trash problem.
Culture should be reflected in every aspect of a society
take this layby for example:
Situated on West Kingsdown Rd.
Catering for most of the traffic from villages around South Darenth, Eynsford and West Kingsdown.
It also serves HGV's using the M25. First impressions show nothing out of place.
Let's dig a little deeper into this layby at West Kingsdown...
Too much trash, obviously due to lack of bins.
Mini-landfill lurking in the undergrowth, distorting
the clean British image?
Tatty old bins need replacing!
This layby near Brands Hatch is fast becoming a dumping ground.
The layby stinks of human waste, placed in plastic bags and plastic bottles. That is a big problem.
The other problem is the lack of bins which encourages litter fouling. I see an
impasse.
A state of enertia:
- Car and truck owners are dumping litter and human waste in the bushes.
- Car owners in particular are using the laybys to relieve themselves.
- The car owners refuse to change this disgusting habit; it's become almost an acceptable social norm.
- Council workers naturally shy away from picking up human waste in various forms, which is understandable.
- Litter builds up and is not removed timeously.
An impasse is created - neither side will budge!
Are the council refusing to remove certain types of waste, and being asked to go beyond the call of duty?
This careless attitude of motorists, damages the environment, and tarnishes the British 'clean ethic'.
What do you think? Is this
type of behaviour demotive of Brand's Hatch, a British Racing showpiece. Do you think it promotes or demotes the area?
Leave a comment..
The laybys at Caterham, show similar issues..
Only two tiny bins could be spotted at this huge layby!
Bins too small, and too few in number.
More bins, and 'do not litter' warning signs
How truck drivers are disguising their evil practices!

Truck Owners - Jump out of your boots!
- Note this CCTV at an access rd.
- It catches the motorist for littering
- CCTV notes reg plate of offender
- CCTV broadcasts a loud voice warning

Racing plays a huge part in the British Culture- it's in their blood
A cleaner layby would show-case Brands Hatch
