thumbtacks in road

I would like to warn of tacks in the road in London/Surrey, specifically from Hampton Court bridge headed toward Walton. The tacks are mostly brass coloured but some silver, and are also on the footpath. I also encountered tacks day before yesterday in the cycle lane between Hersham and Esher, especially near the Bourne river, but I think I have picked up most of those, amounting to a good handful. There were also a few between Esher and the North Downs, possibly carried along by motorist tyres. So be aware and help pick the rotten things up, it's not my job either.

If you're new please join in and if you have questions pop them below and the forum regulars will answer as best we can.

Molesey side of the Thames, so I suppose south, and both sides near the Bourne. As I said, I cleaned up a lot of the thumbtacks thrown onto the Hersham/Esher road.

Thanks, I sometimes ride that way and might do on Sunday. North or South side of the River?

Also, have you reported that to the Police?
