Colin James Posted August 18, 2011 Report Posted August 18, 2011 I saw Cllr Powell here just after I took the above picture, and I explained that although Amey were cutting back weeds and bushes etc, they had not yet tackled the stumps, Cllr Powell informs me, that now, they are not sure if McDonalds own the land where the stumps are located and that the foundry is in the centre of the Newton Brook, and that they need to contact McDonalds to either instruct them to cut down the stumps or Amey will complete the work and invoice McDonalds, which sounds fine, ( I just knew that this would not be done today) I am just confused why this work was carried out last year by Amey, so did they not investigate who actually owns the land back then?Anyway, I have arrived home from work, and was pleaseantly surprised, that at least what they have done, was done well in all fairness. (with exception to the stumps not being removed).That said, Cllr Powell did mention to me a week or so ago, that our fly tipper had dumped a whole load of fur tree's in the same place as last year and that someone was going around to discuss pressing charges this time, only nobody was home when they called the other week. I was a little surprised that Amey did not take this away with them today while they were on site and send the culprit the bill, as it is all still there, and looks a right mess!! see below; Quote
Frank Smith Posted August 27, 2011 Report Posted August 27, 2011 Is this the same fly tipper that was warned before? I take it that all this has bee removed now? Should put them in court! Quote
Colin James Posted August 29, 2011 Author Report Posted August 29, 2011 Is this the same fly tipper that was warned before? I take it that all this has bee removed now? Should put them in court! I think so, if not it is definitely next door, but all the tree branches are still there I see Quote

So what's happening about this?? as it seems that they get a visit and if nobody is home that's it? Quote
Bill Thomas Posted August 31, 2011 Report Posted August 31, 2011 Council should send an immediate court summons in my opinion. Quote

Colin, the person who was warned last year was house number five, but we could not tell from Glastonbury Close open space whether the fir trees was from five or seven so the environment officer called on both.

Glenda Powell Posted September 2, 2011 Report Posted September 2, 2011 At some point we've all seen a mattress, fridge or shopping trolley dumped on the side of the road, and although most would see this as inconsiderate and unsightly, some don't give it a second thought! In order to tackle fly tipping, Herefordshire Council Community protection Team, Safer Herefordshire and Amey are working together to promote the Think! No Licence - No Waste Campaign across the county. The Initiative will be launch in High Town on Saturday 3rd September (10am-4pm) and aims to inform people that it's not only illegal to irresponsibly dispose of rubbish, but also to allow it to be removed by a unlicenced trader. Craig Sandman Community Protection team leader and his team will be on hand to answer your questions. Quote

M. Preece Posted September 2, 2011 Report Posted September 2, 2011 Nothing by the sound of things No reply about what has been done? Quote
Colin James Posted September 3, 2011 Author Report Posted September 3, 2011 I reported the fly tipping that has happened in Glastonbury Close, when I was in town this morning with Craig Sandman (Team Leader - Community Protection Team) because nothing has been done about it yet. The house in question is number 3 Golden Post, which is next door to the person from last year. Quote
Frank Smith Posted September 4, 2011 Report Posted September 4, 2011 They should hold the meeting in glastonbury close, "highlight" the fly tipper there. I like your style Bill lol So has this person had a visit or a letter from the council? Quote
P. Rowe Posted September 5, 2011 Report Posted September 5, 2011 I reported the fly tipping that has happened in Glastonbury Close, when I was in town this morning with Craig Sandman (Team Leader - Community Protection Team) because nothing has been done about it yet. The house in question is number 3 Golden Post, which is next door to the person from last year. Nothing will be done, council are too soft, he should receive a summons in the post with photographs attached but I will be very suprised if they even call on him again. Load of old bull I think and that is why they do it, because they know hardly anything will be done about it! (slap on the wrist) Quote
M. Preece Posted September 7, 2011 Report Posted September 7, 2011 What is wrong with people, some just think they can dump their rubbish and get away with it. Quote
Colin James Posted September 7, 2011 Author Report Posted September 7, 2011 I met Craig Sandman and Joanna Lindsay-Jones here today, they had a look at the furs tree's that have been dumped. They took some pictures and then left to call on the persons house to ask some questions. We will have an update shortly. Quote
Colin James Posted September 8, 2011 Author Report Posted September 8, 2011 Good news Craig Sandman contacted me this morning, He and his colleague Joanna Lindsay-Jones called on the colprit yesterday and after they were given some story, he gave the resident 10 days in order to get it cleaned up. Thank you Craig Now we should see something happen, I will let you all know once it's how cleared. Quote

Lets hope that these furs are removed over the weekend. Quote
csandman Posted September 8, 2011 Report Posted September 8, 2011 From Craig Sandman - Just to let you all know the conifers will be removed tomorrow by Ross Tree Services and they are providing the resident with the appropiate paper work as far a Duty of Care is concerned. I will check that this has been done to my satisfaction and report back to this site. Thank you - regards Craig SANDMAN Quote

H.Wilson Posted September 8, 2011 Report Posted September 8, 2011 Great work thanks to all involved Quote
Adrian Pitt Posted September 9, 2011 Report Posted September 9, 2011 The person responsible should still be prosecuted in my opinion. I hate these people who think they can just dump their rubbish where they like and expect someone else to clean it up. Still, this is a good result, Well done Colin and Craig Sandman's team :Thumbs-Up: Quote

Colin James Posted September 10, 2011 Author Report Posted September 10, 2011 Mmmm Ross Tree Services came today to clear up the mess, but now we have gained an old Christmas tree...it is not the best of clearing up jobs that I have seen, I think I could of done better, still, I suppose it's better than it was but not quite as it should be in my opinion. Quote
H.Wilson Posted September 12, 2011 Report Posted September 12, 2011 It is much better now but looking at the latest pictures I see where you are coming from. Looks like a bit of a rush job lol. At least the bulk of the tree's have been removed, which is a result on it's own. Quote
Colin James Posted September 17, 2014 Author Report Posted September 17, 2014 Well our friend is at it again! It looks a right mess!! So what happens now? Does he get prosecuted this time around? Quote
Glenda Powell Posted September 18, 2014 Report Posted September 18, 2014 Colin, I will get in touch with the officer again, Glenda Quote
Colin James Posted September 18, 2014 Author Report Posted September 18, 2014 Colin, I will get in touch with the officer again, Glenda Thank you CVP Quote
Bill Thomas Posted September 18, 2014 Report Posted September 18, 2014 Prosecution time, they obviously never took the first warning seriously! Why do people think that they can just dump their waste wherever they like? Quote
