Opposite my house is a small field. Last October some idiot dumped a pile of rubbish that must have taken a small lorry to carry.Tyres TV sets and general rubbish strewn all over the place.So I ring up the council and they send a refuse wagon and a gang of men to shift it Simple eh?Not on your life!!This is private land. so we cant shift it.It has to stay where it is until we find who owns the land and then the owner will shift it.
That was over 4 months ago, and the rubbish is still there.They cant find the owner of the land, so the rubbish has to stay where it is.I have tried all the varoius health agencies,but no one will accept responsibility for the rubbish.Now the problem is starting to grow as all the fly-tippers in the area think it is OK to dump rubbish next to the original pile.So the problem goes on and on.Where will it end?Who knows? Who cares?
