Did you see Rogue Traders this week? There was a country lane in Kent that was blocked for about 30 yards of its length with building rubble, it wasn't just dumped by the side but right in the middle! Nice meeting that lot on a dark night whilst driving. Of course we pick up the bill to clear it up in our council tax.

I have had at the last count over 20 skips here, 17 of them to remove earth when digging out the rear garden and the other 4 or 5 for general rubbish during the past 10 years or so.
I have no problem paying the price of a skip to have my rubbish dumped, but if the council had the lack of common sense in removing the double yellow lines on both sides of the road, why should I take valuable holidays off work and arrange skips if they can't be delivered after 3 attempts in one day.
What can the council really say to me, I have told them what I have done and they are the key to sorting the issue out. We didn't have our bins emptied for 3 weeks running because the refuse lorry couldn't get up the street due to inconsiderate residents parking their cars in a mess.
It the council has to pay to clear my mess up where its dumped by the local gypsy's half a mile away, under the circumstances why should I worry as the council obviously has no intention of sorting the issue out.
