i dont know if he has to decalre self interest in it at the next council meeting as i dont know the rules

An update from Facebook - the removal which was promised to start Monday, then was rescheduled for Wednesday, has encountered a problem raised by the site owner.

Blakeleys Waste
Hi everyone

Please see our latest statement below:

Stephen Blakeley, managing director at Blakeley’s Waste Management, said: “Despite receiving approval from Hyndburn Borough Council and the Environment Agency that we can begin to start removing waste from Oswaldtwistle waste site, the land owner Arthur Morgan of AMCIS has unfortunately applied a restriction of access, which prevents us from getting on to the site to start the clearance before 8am. This reduces the time we can operate during the day and will therefore lengthen the time it takes us to remove the bales.

“Also, as at present Arthur Morgan has not yet agreed to allow access to the site for the operation to begin tomorrow. He has requested further information, which has been supplied this afternoon. Despite this he has yet to give permission for Blakeley’s to access the site. Therefore, at present we cannot begin the clearance tomorrow as planned until Mr Morgan removes his objections.”

Why the piggin' hell has land owner Arthur Morgan applied for restricted access, and why is he refusing to give permission for the bales to be removed?

Nevermind tar and feathering.

He should be stripped naked and tied to a stake at the site, after being being rubbed down with some of the lovely clinical waste.

I hope that he doesn't say 95% of the bales cause no risk to health:rolleyes::D

No doubt Mr Morgan doesn't live within a 100 miles of Ossy:rolleyes:

And there's probably a lot more (nasties) than appears to be the case.

also getting infested with flies in the rishton area we always like to leave the backdoor open for our dog but as of late we are having to keep it closed until we let him out, cant kill the little blighters quick enough if we decide to open the door, our poor bailey is now also helping us by chasing the flies round, enjoyable to watch but we hate the fact they are in our home.
