IF YOU'VE SPOTTED A BLOT ON OUR LANDSCAPE
The front page article of the most recent copy of Insight (Derbyshire County Council's own newspaper) encourages us to tackle 'green' crime by spotting blots on the landscape and reporting them. The article begins quite boldly by stating the plain fact that 'dumping rubbish is a crime.'
Quite right. So I'd like to report High Peak Borough Council and more specifically their 'Planning Department' for knowingly allowing hundreds of concrete pods to be dumped at Bridge Mills, Tintwistle, courtesy of SCC Ltd and allowing hideous tin sheds to be dumped on the opposite bank of the Etherow at Rossington Park

The article goes on to describe the effects of said rubbish : 'it looks horrible can damage our health and it costs a lot to clear it up' . Here, here. Consequently, DCC are prepared to go so far as to take finger-prints and DNA samples to track down the culprits.
Steady on. No need to go that far - we know who they are. Culprit No.1 is Adrian Fisher, Chief 'Planner' and Culprit No.2 is his sidekick and 'Regeneration Officer' his holiness the Dai Larner.
If anyone has pictures of these green criminals please send them and I will add them to the post. It should make it easier for those nice people at DCC to identify these environmental vandals, who face huge fines - up to £5,000 for individuals but up to £50,000 or 12 months in jail for businesses.
Come on Derbyshire County Council - bang them to rights and let's see some real justice. Justice for the hundreds of residents who fought HPBC and their rubbish tipping in this area, in the name of 'regeneration' and justice for the environment itself.
Remember this: DCC 'need your help to make it really work. We want you to report the crime' (haven't we already done that?!) twin blots on landscape
