I HAVE just completed my journey by car on the Darlington A66 bypass.

Wow, what an absolute pleasure it was to see impeccable grass verges, daffodils and even birds.

May I say a massive thank you to everyone concerned with collecting up all of the litter and plastic that has been gathering for some time, which made the entrance or exit from Darlington look appalling.

Litter is disgusting, so are the people who drop litter.

It is truly wonderful knowing that most people do care about the town they live in plus the wildlife around.
