Tunbridge Wells is full of rubbish.





Out whilst the Town was sleeping to catch the morning light for a special project, I came across a sad sight.
At first I thought it was rubbish from a good night out in the churchyard but as I went closer to investigate I saw that its contents were not food debris.
New, or gently used items, presumably too good to be thrown away had effectively become rubbish overnight. I have no idea which shop doorstep they had been taken from. But obviously someone left them at a closed charity shop as a donation. They were then removed to be rummaged through by an unintended recipient.






Great that people want to donate. But this is one of the reasons charity shops ask that donations are not left after closing hours. So instead of charity, we now have theft and mess. Not only that a beautiful tranquil place has become a dumping ground, not just to bottles and cans and rubbish that seem to be part of Tunbridge Wells street furniture this morning. I hope whoever took those bags really needed them???




                                                   Is this your stuff?



 At this stage, I am not even really happy to copyright these photographs but intellectual copyright is a whole other issue. In the meantime Trinity Arts Centre and churchyard is a heritage gem not a rubbish dump!
Give to charity in opening hours or take it to the recycling units or better still put it in your bin.
Rant over.
