Toddy - if the area to the rear has a problem wit hlitter/rubbish have a word with Environmental Health.
Pm if you want some advise - I do it for a living.
I reported the general mess, out came Environmental Health, agreed it was an issue but that the local authority ought to deal with it. They dispute that, they claim they don't own the land and have no responsibility to clean it up; I contacted the planning dept, they *think* it is still the Council's land but is part of a bigger hayfield that is *under offer* and since it's a Nature Walk it's a grey area. The local Greenspace officer referred me to SEPA and they sent out an inspector who agreed it needs dealt with and said he'd contact the council !!!!!...............

Meanwhile, the ground is becoming a dump and yet we have the most wonderful wildlife from bats and badgers to weasels and woodpeckers
The woods have virtually all the native trees well represented and the understorey is rich too....if we could just discourage the dumb dumpers things would be so much better.
Sorry Stuart, I've rambled over your thread again
