Exeter's Dustbin on our Doorstep

To Exeter City Planning Department

These pictures (taken today) show the state you have allowed the site to get into, and also show that flytipping is spreading beyond the site up Red Cow lane.  The very public state of the site encourages passers-by to think that this is a good place to dispose of rubbish.  The latest deposit included three large plastic bags full of assorted footwear and several electrical items, deposited outside the electricity substation.  This morning the bags had been emptied and most of the footwear taken.  It is to be hoped that this does not presage Red Cow Lane becoming a kind of unofficial recycling centre.

You will know that Red Cow Lane has not been adopted and has no known owner.  Consequently disposing of rubbish has to be done by local residents.  They all pay the rates and wonder what exactly they are paying for?
