In reply to James Cousins. Thank you James. Its being going on for 11 years. 100 tons plus. POLICE NOR COUNCIL interested. They just say move it. Have been doing for many years. Now after injury moving it (a cripple ) can neither physically nor finacially afford to move it. Have told the council it can just pile up. I am 80 +ex military. The enemy did not cripple me but my neighbour has done so.

In reply to HURST.

Unfortunately I’m unable to respond directly, but in case you read follow up comments I would say I am not in a position to help as I’m a councillor in the London Borough of Wandsworth and from the address you give I think you live in an area covered by Surrey Heath District Council.

I would suggest your best option would be to contact Surrey Heath Council directly.

Their contact details are:

Surrey Heath Borough Council
Surrey Heath House, Knoll Road, Camberley, Surrey GU15 3HD
Tel: 01276 70710
http://www.surreyheath.gov.uk

Alternatively, you might want to contact your councillors directly.

I think (but cannot be certain) from looking at the website they are:

Cllr. Ian Bell
Tel 07815 072938
Email Ian.Bell@surreyheath.gov.uk

Cllr. Timothy Dodds
Tel 01276 479171
Email tim.dodds@surreyheath.gov.uk

Cllr. Surinder Gandhum
Tel 01276 472117
Email surinder.gandhum@surreyheath.gov.uk

I hope this helps and you can get your problem resolved.

Regards,

James.

Yep,I realised after spending too long thinking about it that actually the council had succeeded in my circumstances.

After all the council is not trying to be a successful refuse collecting company. They don’t profit by collecting my rubbish. They just don’t want flytipping. And by putting me off with their evil pricing they’ve saved themselves the hassle of collecting some rubbish with no downside since I’m never going to ‘flytip’. It’s illegal.

Instead I will one day hire a company who specialise in this and are probably cheaper. Or leave it for the next owner..

To determine the price elasticity they need to talk to people who do flytip; my opinion is irrelevant. However I’m glad you agree about How they implement the prices.

Regarding a contract I wouldn’t sign it because I don’t need to; I have a conscience that holds up my side of the bargain and makes me (try) to be a good citizen. However I’m not convinced that the conscience of an organisation is as strong as that of the individual, therefore the council would be more likely to break it (and even if an organisation has a conscience, it has little of the follow-up guilt when it does fail its citizens).

One thing this made me think of (might have read it here?) is what it means to be a good citizen – e.g. people used to grit the pavement in front of their homes – now they grit their paths and moan at the council about the pavement. Could be a generation thing – I’ve never used the grit box things and wouldn’t be sure that I’m even allowed to. Genuinely not sure what they’re for…

But better communication and mutual understanding between council & citizens about things like this would strengthen everyone’s role and the council citizen relationship. A bit like a contract…
