evening all


i was just wondering if anyone else in the tintagel crescent area is concerned/bothered by all the junk that ends up scattered around the lordship lane end of tintagel crescent?


i am sure some of the stuff left outside the charity shop ends up being picked up by people who think they like the look of it, only to decide a few metres down the road they don't and dump it. some of the mess is also no doubt post-pub detritus, especially at weekends.


but what is harder to explain is the copious amounts of general, mixed and weird rubbish that appears and is left either by the garage at the end of the road or round the end of the alley behind the indian restaurant. it often looks like it has been deliberately left/stashed on private property (i saw two 1980s portable TVs in dumped in a front garden a while ago...) or just dumped on the street.


sometimes it looks like bags of clothes/really random odds and ends destined for the charity shop - in which case i can't understand how they ended up where they are (surely people coming to drop stuff off wouldn't leave it 20m away from the shop, and surely someone picking it up from outside the shop then deciding they didn't want it wouldn't leave it neatly by the garage or the fence by the indian 20m away??). other times it's just rubbish. this weekend there was a sainsbury's bag with, amongst other things, a broken egg shell and a pair of knickers....failed attempt at a niche omelette recipe? this stuff inevitably gets strewn all over the road.


maybe people from the nursing accommodation - but they have their own bins? maybe bin men who don't want to take certain stuff?


i know there are options about getting flytipping reported and investigated which i will look into (i know this won't apply to items on private property), i was just wondering if anyone had seen anything or had any thoughts about who might be doing this? as you can see from the rant, it's starting to get on my nerves (apologies) and i would really like to catch them doing it!


thanks for your time.

    • Gosh, calm down.. How about not getting so heated, and not eat for 24 hours with sips of water? Try it and you may, just may understand, starvation, no water. No meds at all even if you need them - hasten to add, don’t do it at all if you are medically dependent. In fact, why doesn’t ED - do this for half a day - say in Oct, when everyone has come back from enjoying their, hols, new term starting and as a community, we could all be 1.? Before, November, fireworks, etc.                    
    • Many thanks I have sent them a message  
    • Stop foreign aid spend and re-direct those funds to improve the lives of UK citizens.  People shouldn't have to rely on charities and food banks, their is enough food wasted in this country already which could be re-directed.  Let their own Govts feed them, why does the UK have to do it, how about other nations contributing.  Well if aid can't reach them, how are they supposed to be fed if as you say food parcels being dropped from planes doesn't work.  Lets sort out this country first and put UK citizens first for a change.   
    • Well that really is not Christian Spirit at all - we all live in this world and yes, totally agree that it would be wonderful to have no conflict in the world but that is not possible. Yes we have people in need of food  in this country but overall enough charities and organisation in the west to help. We are talking about thousands of people who are starving - not just going hungry - a huge difference would you not agree ? Aid can’t reach people - for whatever conflict and don’t think people dropping parcels, boxes etc from planes would be the answer either.
