Drainage improvement - an odd development

In connection with the drainage improvement project, apparently one resident is complaining that the footpath alongside the dyke at Coggins Bank has been churned up and fly tipping is going on. Having been to look, the alleged fly tipping is spoil excavated from the drainage works, which has been added to an existing earth bank of soil, well out of the line of the footpath which is along the bank top. The green lane is somewhat rutted and the recent rainfall has made things a bit muddy. Nothing more than the normal agricultural traffic would have made. Drainage Boards are in any case permitted to tip spoil from their drainage works on bank tops or within reach of an excavator boom (approx 30 feet) under the auspices of the 1991 Land Drainage Act.
