Fly tipping - a product of failure
Written by Matt B · first published 26/03/2009
It is my opinion that the KCC and TDC actions in the last few years are drectly responsible for an increase in the amount of fly tipping in the area.
Picture, if you will, a basic steam engine. On this engine there is the steam chamber from which the drive is powered under pressure. If you decrease the size of the opening that the steam has to pass through to power the drive less steam can pass through at any given time but there is still the same amount trying to do so. The result is more pressure.
If the pressure in the steam chamber becomes to great it starts to break and might even explode. If we a re luck steam forces it's way out of the system where-ever it can.
That steam chamber is the community and the steam is the rubbish that must be collected.
Now I am not suggesting that the council is responsible for the actions of criminals. Their actions are their own and they should be caught and suitably dealt with. However the cost of catching fly tippers is not going to be cheap. Yet it is our local government that have created the problem while seeking to "save the environment" and cut costs.
Furthermore the councils have been fining people that "over fill" their bins. This has created a situation where the system has "too much steam" and must vent it.
