Possibly dangerous flytip - what to be done?
ianr replied to dino99's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
I suspect the labelling is more in line with this model: http://www.brightonandhoveindependent.co.uk/news/environment/council-to-cordon-off-environmental-crime-scenes-in-fight-against-flytipping-1-7855012. -
Possibly dangerous flytip - what to be done?
ianr replied to dino99's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
I was curious about the sticker, but no more than to snap it. I hadn't thought of them as dangerous, btw. -
If it was plasterboard, that would seem to be the answer in itself. It's too thin on its own to provide much support. Your choice then would seem to be between locating the wooden timbers on which it's supported and hang from those, if you can loacte them and thay match your item, or using particular hanging devices in place of a plain screw. Googling on "hanging on plasterboard" provides loads of advice pages. https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2008/mar/01/diy.homes7 offers a general summary.

former East Dulwich councillor - how can I help?
ianr replied to James Barber's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
Since it's only property owners who can give permisison for the installation of a motor cycle anchor, isn't this ?500 going just to those who are relatively most well-off? The anchors I've seen advertised on the web seem to be in the ?50 region. What exactly is done for the additional ?450? -

> Holidays could still be allowed if the the head decides there are special circumstances Sorry, it has to be "exceptional circumstances", as your example would be. "Special circumstances" belongs to the superseded 2006 regs.

> So now you all know. If you're in a bad mood, what do the customers matter. I don't know. I don't have enough information to judge, or particularly to make your inference. Or have I missed an invisible smiley? My default interpretation of her "There's only me and I was on a bad mood", without knowing any more of the interaction, would be that she'd decided to delay contacting you until she felt better able to deal with it properly. Not ideal, and expressed rather risibly, but perhaps not the worst course. Was it something requiring immediate action? Had you been left in a state of not knowing whether your complaint was going to be dealt with? Do you think it would have been dealt with if you hadn't gone in again? Did she express any regret for not acting earlier?

The judgment http://www.bailii.org/uk/cases/UKSC/2017/28.html quotes the magistrates as having said it was 95% before this break, and 90.2% afterwards. Some of the previous loss, btw, will have been a week's holiday her (separated) mother took her on in February. Ma paid her own penalty charge for that. I hadn't realised the girl was only six at the time. I think back on primary school as huge amounts of wasted time, if you're thinking in terms of academic achievement. Anything interesting a kid does at that age will be educational, and I don't think anyone's career hopes are going to be damaged by a few weeks out of school at that age. What's going to happen now? Probably some will continue to take the break and pay the penalty charge, with prosecutions a rarity. Local authorities have to provide a code of conduct for issuing penalty notices, containing "the criteria that will be used to trigger the use of a penalty notice". So if there were a groundswell of public opinion, some might perhaps be persuaded to have a more relaxed code, at least for younger children. That might be conceived as clashing with this judgment; but even if so, who would then have the wish and locus standi to seek judicial review -- the secretary of state?!

The previous regulations required that "(b) the proprietor, or a person authorised by the proprietor in accordance with paragraph (1), considers that leave of absence should be granted due to the special circumstances relating to that application. (4) Save in exceptional circumstances, a pupil shall not in pursuance of paragraph (3) be granted more than ten school days leave of absence in any school year." The current regulations say instead: "the proprietor, or a person authorised by the proprietor in accordance with paragraph (1), considers that leave of absence should be granted due to the exceptional circumstances relating to that application." "Exceptional circumstances" is common enough in law. Like a "reasonable person", it gives scope for application of whatever are thought to be current relevant standards and considerations.

Toxic air around local primary schools & nurseries
ianr replied to bels123's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
Look at least at the Greenpeace article https://energydesk.greenpeace.org/2017/04/04/air-pollution-map-mean/. There are a lot of Defra datasets, but given that the data are said to be from a road sampling, I suspect they're as in the attached screenshot of NOx measurements as got from https://uk-air.defra.gov.uk/data/gis-mapping. It's a sampling only of A roads. I don't know any of the sampling details but they should be available to assiduous delving. You can use the map tool on that page to look at other types of emissions, and also with Data Type = Background. -

I think "advice as to control" can include advice as to whether they need to be, or should be, controlled. There's more to read about them, btw, on the site that lavender27 quoted, https://www.reference.com/home-garden/remove-ground-nesting-bees-b092b33306609515.

First house moths and ladybugs of the year this week. A couple of weeks ago, in Bellenden Road, at the junction with Highshore, my attention was grabbed by something big in the clear sky. It was a magpie, carrying in its beak a branchlet of a tree that could have been up to two foot long. On its way to a nearby rooftop I think.
