Fly tipping: Is there a problem?

Written by Chris (editor) on Friday September 21st, 2007 at 10:58 pm

Fly tipping in Bradley Stoke is the latest problem being highlighted by The Evening Post - but have you actually seen any dumped rubbish?

The paper quotes one resident - from Oaktree Crescent in the north of the town - saying people were dumping rubbish during the night.

Certainly near Examiner HQ, at the other end of town, no problems have been noted and this publication has received no complaints.

So where is this mysterious rubbish? Report in, Examiner readers!

It’s also worth noting the problems are being blamed on restrictions at the Sort It centre on Station Road. These restrictions are not in place at the facility in Yate for those who are able to drive a few miles further.

    Having just driven down Bradley Stoke Way under Primrose Bridge I noticed what must have been half a dozen bin bags of rubbish. However, it looked like household waste judging by what was strewn across the footpath and grass verge. Nice, considerate member of our community (or not as the case may be!)

    As for the fly tipping of other household items such as sofas & fridges etc, I’ve only ever noticed it before along Trench Lane - usually in front of the gates to the fields more or less opposite the golf club.

    Thanks Louisa - anybody else got any examples?
