Clear up the mess (From Gazette & Herald)

Clear up the mess

9:40am Wednesday 4th January 2012 in Letters

AFTER your picture of the hunt in Malton Market Place on Boxing Day saying ‘Riders given warm welcome’, perhaps we could have another picture showing the horse manure left all over the Market Place. It was still there on Friday, December 30.

It would have been trampled into shops and cars and if it had been dog mess, the dog owners would have been fined.

Is it beyond the hunt and their supporters to clear up the mess on the day? It happens every time there is a Boxing Day meet in Malton.

Council tax-payers should not have to clean up after horse owners.
