LETTER: Litter poses a fire hazard

However, some attention needs to be paid to the amount of litter which has accumulated at the end of platform one. It just needs someone to throw a cigarette through the bars and start a fire , and there would be plenty of fuel! At the far end of the car park several years ago there were two adjacent billboards. Both were damaged in a storm one night, one fell completely and was removed, and the other has been left standing with a broken frame, and has lost it`s identity mark. It needs either to be repaired or be removed. It is an eyesore ,to put it mildly.

I was horrified to see the amount of litter which had accumulated beside the railings at the far end of the car park, and not a litter bin in sight, although railway staff can frequently be seen collecting the litter.
