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?

I sympathise Jim. We live on a private road with a quiet back lane which is a haven for fly tippers. Because the land is private we have to shift any rubbishh ourselves be it TVs fridges or whatever. Each house owns the bit of the back lane outside their house and some householders ignore their responsibility for this, it's outside the back gate so who cares attitude, so the lane ends uo looking like a shanty town.
