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

[WallBuilder]

Well some-one within the council considered this to be a good option so I'm going to be asking which bright spark started this process up and as it's obviously not satisfactory what the council are going to do to resolve things, for example I thought this city had an incinerator.

Then why are dog poop bins provided by the council ?

 

That's a good question. In most cities dog owners are requested to clear up the doggy doos from the parks, stick it in a plastic bag and take it away. In Sheffield it seems the council takes doggy doos, puts tons of it into plastic bags and puts it into their parks.

 

The TV companies are going to love this. Look North is based in Leeds. They'll be down here like a shot for this one.

Very good point, we do indeed have an incinerator.

 

Is this fly-tipping a political move designed to once again wrest ownership of nurseries away from the park trustees to the council?

Very likely the case.

Strange than no one from Sheffield City Council has joined this interesting conversation..........

I doubt they could claim any expenses for posting on here. So there's your probable answer.

Friday night so probably all out on the lash - on expenses !

I can't believe that such a beautiful park as Graves is being desecrated by the very people who should be protecting it for the use of Sheffield folk who it was gifted to.

Sheffield Council - you should be ashamed !

 

A few more photos up on the facebook page. It was nice of the council to park their tipper trucks for effect.

 

 

Note the water run off heading for that stream that goes alongside the kiddies play area and then down through Woodseats.

It's a case of do as I say, not do as I do with them.
