Fair warning, this is a little strange.


A few weeks ago we found a plastic carrier bag filled with ash placed on the pavement outside our house. This was on a Tuesday evening, the bins are emptied on Tuesday mornings, so we wondered if it had perhaps fallen off the refuse lorry. So we disposed of it and thought little of it.

About a week later another one appeared tucked in under the front of our hedge. It seemed a mildly irritating bit of fly tipping, but hey ho, that's life, binned it.

The following Tuesday morning leaving the house I almost tripped over a metal bucket, full of ash, left on the pavement right outside the door. This was a bit much and I was quite irritated. Then as I walked up Abbotswood Road I saw a bag of ash outside another house and one more outside a house on Burrow Road.

Last night I walked home and counted one bag at the entrance of Burrow Road, Three on Abbotswood and a last one on Talbot in addition to a further one under our hedge.

This evening walking back from the station two more have popped up on St Francis Road.


We are at something of a loss to work out the motivation behind this or how to stop it. Has anybody else noticed more of these little packages being distributed? It does not feel like a criminal matter but we would like it to cease.
