DEAR EDITOR - I would like to appeal to residents in the Shirley Road and Abberley Drive area of Droitwich Spa to discontinue the practice of putting out the bones of their Sunday dinner.

I would like to point out that this habit attracts rats and also I'm weary of collecting them after my cat has brought them home, and putting them in the dustbin - which is where they belong, and where the perpetrator should put them!

If they want to share anything I would willingly share the vet's bills that this practice engenders!

Annette Chubb,

Abberley Drive,

Droitwich Spa.
