Dear Sir,
WE have just returned from a two week holiday on Majorca. We have an apartment in Porto Pi and were absolutely appalled to see the amount of rubbish around that area, particularly next to the little Church just outside the Porto Pi Shopping Centre. A number of folk seemed to gather there daily, not apparently Spanish, and all the rubbish was just left behind for days.
Another problem seems to be with the young people who gather in their hundreds on Friday and Saturday nights along the Paseo, apparently drinking spirits, etc from the boots of cars and then discarding the bottles on the pavements and in the road. By the morning this is a terrible sight.
No action seems to be taken at all to prevent this. You have a beautiful Island, the bay of Palma is quite spectacular and being absolutely ruined by this apathy to this problem and apparent indifference. We have had our apartment for 40 years and have never known it to be so bad. Surely some action should be taken to try and stop this getting any worse. The few cleaners who were out nearly every morning around the bay certainly did their best to clear up but in Porto Pi nothing was done for days. Children were playing amongst the glass and people walking their dogs picking their way through all kinds of debris.
Previously we have always remarked upon how clean the Island is, people out early sweeping up, even the Supermarket trolleys being washed down at the crack of dawn, and comparing it with the way London has become so dirty in latter years, but have to say that I think you are catching us up and even overtaking us. Please don't let this happen, over to you......
