I work in the RVH and frequently use the bog meadows for walking, running, or simply having a lunchtime picnic when weather permits. It is a wonderful place, but on my last visit I was saddened to find the main pond was awash with discarded tins, plastic bottles and general rubbish which thoughtless people had dumped during the their own visits. If we want to attract foreign visitors, promote West Belfast and preserve our wild life in the heart of the city we should be trying a bit harder to keep it clean and free of rubbish. It could be so much better for a little bit of effort.
