Without labour nothing prospers. – Sophocles

Fly Tipping Of A Kind

2nd Jan 2013 by Dogbury

Hello to all avid readers of this blog.  May I wish you all a Happy and prosperous New Year, and one which may be a bit dryer than the last one.

Some enterprising soul, who is probably not an allotment holder,  has recently been placing numerous bags of what appears to be either wood chippings or the detritus from the bottom of a chicken coop up against the various gates of our glorious allotments in turn.  This has been going on for a few weeks now and no doubt those of us who have been to the ‘water gardens’ as they are now known, will have seen them.   The reason I bring this to your attention is that just as mysteriously as they have arrived they have just as mysteriously, until now,  disappeared within a few days of being deposited.  As you may know in a previous life I was a member of the bacon battalion and my extensive training as a detective led me to work out that they may have been left there by arrangement with one of our number who has then removed them for their own use.  The last lot of bags to have been left, this time outside the bottom gate near the railway bridge,  have now been there for some time however, and show no sign of being spirited away in keeping with previous practice.  Could I ask that if anyone knows either who is leaving them there, or better still, for whom they are being left that they contact Jackie, (the secretary on 07931 950950) so that we can get something done about getting the last lot shifted.

The problem with stuff being left like this is that it encourages other fly tippers to come and deposit their own rubbish which, is something to be avoided.  Old Coach Road has been visited by the fly tipping fairy twice this past year to my direct knowledge and it means that someone else has to arrange to have it shifted.

Thank you in anticipation that someone can and may possibly help.
