Council with money to burn
- 23 June 2011 23:38111605Jan is right. In fact our bins are in the front yard, the rubbish sacks are never dumped out on the street.
I think there are about a dozen seagulls speacialised in sack-raiding, it's just a minority. We shouldn't start picking on the whole population

24 June 2011 00:02111607Thanks for the photo Marek, it makes the incinerator look quite romantic. Does the prevailing wind blow it all out to sea or into St. Helier ?. - 24 June 2011 05:38111610No smells at all..Alec. They even display light shows on it during summer so really it can be very eye catching.
The biggest problem and strongest smell we get is from the green algy that washes ashore in summer. It thrives in the warm climate and has recently become the scurge of Erope. The tractors are out at low tide scrapping it up off the sandy beaches and then charged with disposing of it. The smell is akin to a busy sewerless street in a downtown Far East city if that gives you any indication as to its pong.Marek
I think therefore I am (not a Tory supporter) - 24 June 2011 05:55111612Fertilizers can cause algae production when seeping into the ground water and from there into the sea.
Perhaps New Jersey potatoes are over-fertilised?

27 June 2011 01:32111967Marek, we go to Corfu every year on holiday (32 years this year) and they built an incinerator many years ago as, like Jersey, there is not much room for a landfill site. It is situated a few miles from where we stay but if the wind is in the wrong direction there is a pong. I have passed it on a bus trip and it is no where near as grand as the one in Jersey.
They also have a problem with sea weed, again to do with the wind direction, if it blows from the north for a few days the main beach is covered with it. The council do a good job of getting rid of it but with all the cut backs this year I am wondering if they will find the money to keep up their good works.
