Forsaken

Again the car park at Stony Ridge has been singled out by fly-tippers. The culprits seem to have set fire to their rubbish after depositing it. This time the stuff was removed a bit quicker once the working week began; the likely time the felony was committed was Friday night. I guess its removal was deemed a priority because of the convenience of the farmer whose vehicles were obstructed.

I would think there might be a chance of some identification as some of the papers were not burned. Doubtless once the flames got going they would have feared attention being drawn to them and scooted off not making sure all was burned; among the half-burned debris were Christmas cards!

The increasing number of these incidents here raises a question. This land is obviously the city council's responsibility but they refuse to acknowledge it. The result is that it looks uncared for, a temptation for the likely lads who might be looking for a cheap way of disposing of their junk. And the wildlife trust can't be bothered to put pressure on SCC. If you don't look after what's your responsibility can you expect anyone else to?

Disowned and forsaken.
