Tip conditions are a disgrace
At the April Gilberdyke Parish Council meeting the room was filled with members of the public who were suffering from the effects of rubbish being blown about from the Leatherdog Lane tip. This tip has permission to operate until November 2011 but has applied for planning permission to extend the life by 4 years. Not surprisingly the residents suffering from the windblown debris and the stink are determined that this cannot continue. Having heard the appalling conditions that these residents suffer and the massive number of heavy goods vehicles travelling past their homes I can only support their camapign to close the tip in November and allow peace to return.

The lorries seem to be taking alternative routes to get to the tip now. All this is doing is spreading the nuisance.
ReplyDeletePlease Please Please East Riding planning committee - throw out the proposed extension to the life of the tip!
ReplyDeletePerhaps the EA in conjunction with the Highways authorities could carry out weight checks and vehicle safety inspections on every vehicle entering or exiting the tip? I would be amazed if a serious number of contraventions was not found, sufficient to pay for the exercise a few times over in penalties.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the right way to stop this is to take a leaf out of the French Farmers method book? They stopped lorries taking English lamb into France a few years ago.
ReplyDeleteHmmm - I can see the value of stopping the lorries but setting the loads on fire would be going a bit too far in my estimation.
ReplyDeletePerhaps the residents of Newport should keep up their actions not let them subside. The parking of cars at staggered intervals was very effective but doing it once is simply insufficient. they should do it every morning from now until November and beyond if necessary.
