WALKING through St Helens town one Sunday morning, I counted 15 abandoned shopping trolleys.
One belonged to B&M and, complete with broken chain, was lying in the road before I moved it. There were also five Asda trolleys on Lidl car park, including one with a green baby seat.
A further two were dumped by the infants school adjacent to Asda, and five at the multi-storey car park were the car boot is held. Three of these were Marks & Spencer.
The last two were on waste land in Albion Street.
The monetary loss on these trolleys must run into a £1,000 or more.
The council asks everyone to recycle rubbish, which is commendable; so why haven't some of the supermarkets added coin-operated systems to their trolleys?
