Coming to a lay-by near you! It's been here in North Devon for yonks. Where do you want to start. Discs pads by the barrow full. Steel wheels. The obvious cars. Computer screens/towers/keyboards in rural lay-bys. Tyres. You name it and it will be there somewhere. It is disgusting and shameful. As far as I am concerened, ALL domestic waste, including private vehicles should be disposed of from central funds if need be. This is not my first choice, but I believe there is no other. The problem is much bigger than most people realise and this, (or probably), any Government are absolutely clueless. I despair. As a very vocal local here says, "The *loody country's gone to hell in a hand cart." Nuff said?
