Very fortunate here with our local tip. The guys there are helpful & friendly, and although vans need permits, I've not had a problem at all so far with my S2.
No-one has ever suggested my 88" with a tilt and the rear folding sideways-facing bench seats, is anything like a commercial vehicle.
I think amenity tips are the responsibility of County Councils in England? It can difficult enough getting a Parish or District Council to respond to local issues, County Councils are even more remote.
One can't help wondering whether elected politicians use the facilities for which they are responsible.
If a councillor has to take stuff to a tip, do they just accept the way it operates? Or, as I suspect, do they get presented by budget constraints, and the resultant options by their officers, and just accept the options after either a desultory discussion, or a "whip" along political party lines.
It's very easy for them to fall into the trap of knowing the cost of everything, but the value of nothing. It's obvious to users of the countryside, that fly-tipping is a problem, and a national problem. The obvious way to address that problem is to start at the amenity tips, and set out national guidelines which are costed and funded.
In the same way that air pollution in our major cities, could and should, be addressed by free public transport, properly funded.
But many of the things we rightly complain about on here, need political solutions, and politics, very rightly in my view, should not be a subject on this forum.
The forum for those complaints are the political bodies responsible. Perhaps we would be better going along to public meetings of the County Councils, and moaning there? And backing up the moaning with written complaints and examples?
