Litter, litter everywhere! In a single issue of the Argus (August 14) I read the beach was left covered in rubbish after the Radio 1 Dance Party; clubbers left piles of rubbish on Worthing seafront; the Gay Pride event left Preston Park covered in "ankle-deep debris"; while a bus stop in St James's Street is shown obstructed by piles of rubbish.

The blame is usually attached to those reponsible for cleaning up and certainly it seems these days as if little effort is made to keep some of our public places clean. But surely in the first instance blame must attach to those who leave the litter.

A generation has grown up totally devoid of any sense of citizenship or social responsibility.
