I've not posted here for a while and to be honest probably will not do so again. I do still blog you can read my musings at The Thanet Star where I write about Thanet in general but I've given up with TDC to be honest. Getting beaten up by TDC builders and then harassed by a cop not liking my reporting him to the police complaints commission (over the aforementioned assault's (lack of) investigation), took that spark right out of what should have been a blog about doing basic gardening (because the council can not maintain even a featureless yard). I never got an answer out of the council over any of these issues and all three councillors failed to even stand for this area when the elections came around. That's not to say that they did not stand. (No one much felt like cleaning up the mess the council had made when it was clear that helping earns you a ride in an ambulance).

I have started to talk about green issues again at The Green Moral and I have been talking about geek stuff and my general opinions like how much I loath the council and their workers when they are not up to the job (talking about that hello to the chap who serviced my boiler thanks for the advice that was dead handy). Anyway things of the geeky and opinionated nature are found at the oddly-named Fantastic Site of Lord Matt, Super Geek. Don't forget if you liked this blog come and see The Thanet Star - I think you might love it.

What follows is an archive of neglect that is officialy denied by TDC.

Milmead - junk yard of thanet.

There has been an ongoing issue with people dumping whatever crap they want in the streets outside my home.

This post is dedicated to all those vile litter-bugs who think they can abuse the world and get away with it.

I, for one, am sick of my environment being violated.

About a week ago I spoted a truck carrying a wrecked caravan drive down the dead end road that is Denton Way, Kent (CT9 xxx).

The next day I noticed this unsightly wreck parked toward the top of the same road.

I took a photo in order to provide evidence of it having been dumped.

By the time I had grabbed the camera they were shuffling off after updating the pile with some fresh new off cuts of green carpet.

I at least got a photo of the leaving the "scene of the crime".

They then backed up the road and arround the corner (where I got the shot of the number plate) and waited for a child to come out of the block before they drove away. (no, I didn't photo the child that sort of thing is not on).

The registration of the car is DG03PZM so if any one knows the owner perhaps they can let thier name be known.

So that's the story of the fly tippers captured "on film" doing the deed.

I also broke the story here (just so you know).

This has been a documentation of the impact of District Council (TDC) contracting and sub-contracting standards.
