Fly tippers.
The scum have dumped building waste in the lane
I stopped to move some of it to make it more easily passable and found various bits of wood with nails poking through
It's going to be a pita to clear because there's lots more down in the verge, the lane will probably have to be closed while it's done.

Wankers.
Any way of CCTV coverage?
Is it is worth reporting to the cops? Someone near us was a victim of similar and got caught by virtue of a receipt in the junk along with fingerprints.

Re: Fly tippers.
police wouldn't do anything anyway. I've seen YouTube videos of these wankers being caught in the act, clearly identifiable and still not followed up on by the police.Explosive Newt wrote: ↑Mon May 08, 2023 1:28 pm Wankers.

Re: Fly tippers.
A couple of fly-tippers who did it near us have been prosecuted. Depends on your local authority and their will to do it.
Re: Fly tippers.
Police will claim it’s a civil matter. Best option is to have a good look for receipts or mail with details on it
Re: Fly tippers.
Little chance of cctv I think but good point about paperwork with i.d. The council here are pretty good with that, I think they go through everything they have to clear up and have certainly prosecuted people in the past.
Re: Fly tippers.
The biggest factor is if they’re from a certain ethnic background or not.
How about not having a sig at all?
Re: Fly tippers.
If it’s on the highway it certainly is criminal.
Always worth reporting - each local authority has its own way to do so, usually online. Start here if you aren’t sure: https://www.gov.uk/report-flytipping
Re: Fly tippers.
Not disagreeing, my mam lives in an area dominated by old Victorian terrace housing- she’s in an end terrace and always has rubbish dumped at the side of her house. You can always tell when a tenant has moved out because the landlords do a house clearance and it all ends up outside her house
Police don’t care, bin men used to get rid of it all or at least report it back to base. Now it’s up to Mam to report it to get anything done, and even then it’s just they come and get it
Edit- it happens so frequently a cctv camera would probably have paid for itself by now
I should add we had the fire brigade out a couple of years back because a pile left against her house got set on fire
Re: Fly tippers.
My entire borough is a fly tip and I hate it, crap gets dumped on my street every single week. One woman has begun to graffiti the mattresses that are dumped, out of protest. And why is it always mattresses? Can't wait to move somewhere else.
Re: Fly tippers.
Forgot to add; yep, done (by someone else before me), and there's now a council aware sticker on it so it'll be gone in no time.Jobbo wrote: ↑Mon May 08, 2023 9:14 pmIf it’s on the highway it certainly is criminal.
