What a dimwit!!

What a plonker
I hardly see this fine as a deterrent, if it costs £330,000 per year to clear up after the illegal tippers, we need three hundred and ninety four prosecutions just to break even, (never mind legal costs), just because the fine is so minimal!
(£330).
Perhaps it's time they dropped charges for Whinney Hill tip?
If the builders etc. could tip for free maybe the council wouldn't have to clear up after the Cowboy's?

Sorta' agree here Less, as the cost from tradesmen is probably passed on to us, however, if they stopped charging them, would our Council Tax increase ? No win situation. There again they would gain by not having to clear up after the 'cowboys'.
Furniture dealers would take your old furniture away, and us not having the bother to ring the council to take old beds, settees away for free. Again, however, would this reduce our council tax ?
Getting economically confused now ...
I think this is no more than a protest at the ridiculous charges of properly getting rid of our waste.
In a country where littering on the street leads to a fine of £75 and overfilling your wheely bin costs an average of £100... what would you choose to do? On the spot fixed penalty too so taking you to court over either of these things isn't likely to happen before someone turns around and says that the courts wouldn't let that go unnoticed.
Perhaps we should be frowning at the real problem here which is clearly the council!

Because the only way to get a job these days is to be in at least £15,000 debt and have it written down on a fancy certificate that I can read for 3yrs and have no life?
And presumably you are retired?
I am retired and I think you have answered your own question by removing that stupid banner from your sig.
So...principled protestor making a noble stand against local council waste disposal policy...or traveller dumping his garbage before he moves on to foul up another part of the country...the choice is yours.
I know which one my money's on.

My money is staying in my pocket. Gambling leads to far worse consequences

Is Landfill tax not controlled by Customs and Excise?
Search me, guv, I was just taking issue with Blazey's somewhat idealised view of our travelling fly tipper.
what the hell has this to do with the subject? if ya read my first post n understood it, your thought on the matter is typical, wynonie seems to have got my drift, then hes another in the real world.
Quite agree cashy, seems a bit pointless to me running up £15,000 debt, only to send the rest of your life servicing that debt stacking shelves at ASDAwhat the hell has this to do with the subject? if ya read my first post n understood it, your thought on the matter is typical, wynonie seems to have got my drift, then hes another in the real world.
hahahaha finaly the council have found somthing else to blame their inadiquicies on .
its not their inability to clear peoples waste promtly forcing people to leave their back gates unlocked for days on end giving free access to burgulars and vandals or the fact they are resposible for the exessive charges to use the tip but it turns out that it is clearly the credit crunch to blame for the increase in fly tipping
perhaps if teh council wernt so picky as to how many items they will take in one collection or leave half the stuff behind they are asked to remove people wouldnt have to employ cowboys to take their rubbish away
kida poetic justice getting a load of mess dumped on their doorstep so that they can see how their binmen leave our streets especially after recycleing day
