about a year ago i posted pictures of this site in malvern road.
the problem has got worse since with fencing broken and access freely available for the anti social to just walk in and dump stuff and for children to play amongst all the rubbish.
every so often a planning notice goes up but nothing ever ensues.
what is stopping our council taking the owners of the site to court?

there will always be lazy people keith but what do we actually do about the mess they leave behind.
surely it is up to the land owner and if they do not take action then the local authority should.

A classic example of where DDC should be issuing s215 notices under the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.

If this is the result of laziness;Why is it easier to do this that the 'normal' thing?

I believe local authorities do have powers of enforcement under the Dereliction Act which came into force a few years ago, in cases where there is an eyesore or dereliction which affects the area around it.

Over the weekend some filthy bar steward dumped masses of organic food pulp by the gate to the Drop Redoubt access road. It looks like apples in there, it was probably remnants of large scale home brewing. The masses of this stuff, which stinks, is attracting flies. This pulp, which resembles vomit, is on DDC land just this side of the English Heritage gate.

Brick wall, head, bang.
DDC did a very good job by clearing up the offending orange mess very quickly. Sad to report on exactly the same spot someone has now dumped a huge pile of roofing tiles, felt and asbestos panels. This time it is going to require specialist removal. Clearly someone did not want the trouble of disposing it properly.
This mess wasn't there last night at 7pm but was there early this afternoon, so it looks like someone or some people are starting to regularly use the Drop Redoubt access road for fly tipping at night.
This has been reported to DDC so hopefully they will be able to sort it out as quickly as they did the last mess.

once that starts and they get away with it the problem will repeat itself.
clearly no chance of cctv up there, maybe the doggers in the car park nearby could take turns keeping a lookout.
only when they are free of course.
