See the story I have just added to the frontpage. Met Roger this morning and he was extremely upset to see such awful rubbish dumped in Gaol Lane...and there is a lot of it. Right in full view of every passing motorist, every visitor...its just extraordinary. Will add another couple of pictures shortly...a small crowd of us gathered in astonishment, even Terry Sutton came up the lane to have a look. I dunno its fairly awful that people just have such low respect for the town..more pictures shortly but see Roger amongst the rubbish on the frontpage.
Here with further pictures.....
one side of the lane
the other side of the lane..some of it

Roger is on the case like a bloodhound Scotchie and no doubt will find out..very conscientious is our Roger.
Here is another pic of the man himself..standing amongst the raw meat bones etc..
That bottle content looks toxic....

I don't suppose that passage is covered by CCTV? Now there is a worthy contender for sifting through any papers or letters to detemine any addresses. Disgusting.

i have actually witnessed someone throwing rubbish down from one of those flats and challenged him about it, got nowhere though.
the ones to the rear of barclays look slightly better at the moment.

Don't we have those officers that go around detecting and fining the people who do that?
Or at the very least clearing it up? Well done to Dover yet again......
Roger, your work on our behalf is very much appreciated.

Shocking to say the least, if it is the local residents who have commited the crime it's even worse!
The perpetrators haven't even considered that not only vermin will be attracted to the rubbish which in turn will possibly contaminate their flats, it is a public walkway for Gawds Sake, Disgusting!

i see that dolphin passage gets a mention, there is normally a selection of every possible colour bags plus sundry loose items.
unless prosecutions are made the situation will never change.

This was always going to be a worry that people would just chuck their rubbish anywhere, I know for households you are not allowed to go through it, if you could then there could be more prosecutions but how that works for what we see here i'm not sure.

Surely this counts as fly tipping regardless of whether it is from a household. On a TV programme about fly tipping council officials went through some household black bags that were dumped/thrown over several garden walls.

The odd, but very good thing, is that after I had walked with Paul to Boland Towers, I walked along the seafront and back through the underpass and had another look at Gaol Lane and I couldn't believe it, but it had all gone.
I know one of the people we spoke to said they had called the council number and phoned the emergency number, so maybe they had then got on to Veolia about it, but that's all within 40 minutes or so.
Well done waste services/Veolia, but someone MUST talk to the residents above the shops and tell them they must NOT put their rubbish there. It was domestic rubbish not commercial - there was cardboard packing from a headboard amongst that cardboard shown above.
I am still sending those photos to waste-services asking that the residents are spoken to.
Thanks Paul for posting it on here.
Gone but certainly not forgotten.

I've just sent the photos Paul took and sent to me, to waste-services, thanking them and/or Veolia for clearing it away so quickly.
I have also asked them to pay a visit to the residents advising them that it is illegal to dump their waste/rubbish, as they have done here and if evidence is found who it belongs to, they will be prosecuted.
It may not be all of the families there, it may only be one of them, but it was an awful lot of rubbish for one family.
Dover Town cannot be blighted by this rubbish and this behaviour.

looks ok now but the next rubbish collection is in 12 days time and they don't take black bags.

Roger, just to let you know that I walk my children through Gaol lane on the route to school everyday and it is in that state every week.
