20 December (Part 1) - In the clear

Tip clearedIt was past eleven at night and the mobile rang. “There is a Luton style van up to no good at the flats opposite. Looks like fly tippers”.

“Well get its number because I am in Chingford.”

When I got home I discovered that the Coptefield Drive dump had been cleared. Do Council contractors do their job in the middle of the night? All we need now is for Country Style to empty the bins.

Speaking of Chingford, Waltham Forest Council has partially fixed their speed limit conundrum. They had 30 m.p.h. limit signs on entry to what they were pretending to be extensive 20 m.p.h. zones. Within those zones the roads were painted with 20s in white circles and roadside flashers complained if you did 30 or even 21.

It’s been that way for months but all has now changed, There are shiny new 30 repeater signs through the supposed 20 zone. The road painting and flashers are still there unchanged but the legal signs are all now 30s.

Why is it that so many Councils are happy to cheat and behave illegally? Is nowhere safe from the corruption that pervades pubic services in Rishi’s Britain?
