A mum was shocked to discover broken glass and human poo dumped by a river where children often go paddling. Rachael Middleton came across the vile mess by Soper’s Bridge, near Stoney Stanton. The mum has spoken out to warn other fmilies to take care when visiting the green space. She said: “I picked up a lot of broken beer bottle glass. There were also beer bottles thrown into the river. “I had to tie my dog up while I tried to find it all so she didn’t come to any harm.

Please also watch your dogs/children. “If they wander into the trees they may come across lots of used tissue and human poo (I’m sorry I wasn’t picking that up with my bare hands).” Rachael said she returned in the afternoon with a litter picker and cleared up the rest of the foul mess. She has lived on Sopers Bridge Farm all her life and has a 7-year-old son. She said: “We have seen a lot more walking traffic along the footpaths on our land and at the bridge during lockdown, most people are respectful but a small minority always spoil it. “This behaviour angers me, I used to enjoy my morning walks. “But I don’t for one minute think any of my Facebook friends would conduct themselves this way, but I just wanted to warn you. “Stay safe, respect the countryside and farmer’s property, take litter home.” Just to the north of the bridge is another nature spot, Croft Hill, where there have been problems with people leaving their rubbish behind. A person posted some pictures of gas canisters left there on the Spotted Croft Facebook page. They said in the post: “Found a lot of these yesterday around Croft Hill. “Can people dispose of drug paraphernalia appropriately as there are a lot of children and animals to look out for. “Picked up at least 15 and put them in our bin.” More reports of litter and waste being left around the county came in yesterday as hot weather saw families heading out to outdoor spaces. from https://taxi.nearme.host/mums-anger-at-broken-bottles-and-human-waste-dumped-at-beauty-spot-leicestershire-live/
