Once more Sheffield's Graves Park is used as a council tip.

[onewheeldave]

I suppose everyone else who disapproves of what the council is doing is a NIMBY as well? Even when it's not their backyard?

 

As for who should pay, well ultimately, that's us, out of our tax. But someone else should also pay, and that's the person that authorised it, with their job.

Agree fully

You see, Cyclone, there is one thing that has hampered this discussion throughout - Exaggeration.

The "mountains of poo" are simply a few bags, probably less than could be collected from the park on any given day. The "foul stench" simply doesn't exist. Now you want someone to lose their job because of this storm in a teacup. I hope you have simply been blinded by the lies and exaggeration, but I suspect that you may just be posting to get a reaction. If so, please don't.

This whole thing actually is happening "in my back yard". I live on the edge of the park and paid a couple of hundred thousand for the privilege. If I can put up with this "outrage", I'm sure everyone else can.

Time to move on. End of chat.

Nailed in one.

So the photographic evidence of misuse & dereliction is a mirage???

If that's one days worth of dog poo they must have held Crufts there.

Well done Cyclone and I thought I was trying to be the voice of reason.

Can I suggest that once the miscreant has been found and the Friends of Graves Park have found them guilty there should be a public humiliation in the park.

The guilty party, he or she, should be formally cashiered, they, their partner and children smeared with freshly gathered dog poo and whipped out of the city to permanent exile over the border in nearby Derbyshire. Any pension entitlement should be forfeited and used to help to pay to remove the unsightly over 50 year old council depot in the park therefore improving the lives of the residents of Norton Park View.

Chat ends when people stop chatting dude- not when you decree it

 

Even if it was only a few bags (sounds like it was way more), fact remains it's illegal fly tipping by the council. The same council that relentlessly prosecutes any citizen for so minor a transgression as dropping a cigarette butt on the ground.

We've all seen the photos.

Exaggeration or not, the council is misusing land it has no right to.

 

Why would I be posting to get a reaction, the vast majority of posters to this thread already agree, the only reaction I'm likely to get is from you and Blackbeard who appear to be apologists for the council.

 

You're welcome to move on of course, of you go.

No, I think sacking them is probably sufficient.

A polite, concise, informative post - a refreshing change to the rude tripe I have witnessed being flung in your direction, Blackbeard.

 

You never did detail what "rude tripe" had been "flung" at Blackbeard.

As much as I want to side against the council, that photo doesn't look like just dog waste.

I don't think anyone ever claimed it was "just" dog waste did they? It's definitely waste and it's definitely been tipped where it shouldn't be.
