About a mile east of Cirencester a deer was seen with a plastic carrier over its head.

When it ran off, the bag flipped from covering its face, but was held fast in its antlers.

A photo posted on Social Media In an effort to alert local farmers/landowners.

Outcome unknown. Deer-stalking being a well nigh impossible task.

Last Sunday, just three miles north of the town centre during a village litter pick,

two bin bags of used nappies discovered, carefully secreted at the back of the verge.

Action taken: These were double-bagged to avoid environmental contamination and

reported to CDC as a fly-tip.

As one who litter-picks rubbish thoughtlessly discarded, week in and week out, I ask

the rhetorical question, “Do we really care?”
