Waste Vehicles Obstructing Pavement

In the last few months unmarked waste vehicles are parking overnight in this layby, next to a housing estate, a popular walking spot, the local cemetry and the main NCN76 cycle route. They frequently obstruct the pavement, as in the photo. On this occasion there were 5+1 out of shot. They are loaded with unknown waste materials, which the general public ought to know about. It is rumoured that they sleep here and use the parkland to relieve themselves. Their destination is the Valencia run landfill.

Updates

  • No one came back to me on this issue. The sight of waste vehicles by the roadside in a popular walking location is depressing, I now avoid it. Could it be that brown envelopes (or rather plastic bags) ensure most community concerns about the environment get swept into a big hole in the ground a few miles down the road?
