ADMIN NOTE: We'll leave this thread as is for now, but HORT's Imgur pictures will not show for any UK residents. This is a side effect of the UK regime's plans to ban the kids from using social media.
Just seen more fly tipping.
This time in Washway Lane near to the junction with City Road,

Have you seen the state of Burtonhead Road lately? Small bits of rubbish mixed into every inch of the whole way down, it looks awful

When I glanced at your message, I thought that you'd said, "Bet they are stuffed," but then that is the same difference.

St Marks on North Road has had a plant up above for some time.
Now St Thomas Church in Town has done the same.

Bad crash on Carr Mill Road at the junction of Kirkstone Avenue this morning.
Road closed for many hours.
The blue car roof is on the floor. I hope no one is seriously hurt.

It doesn't seem that long since the market was demolished and that building erected

It will be something at their end. I wonder if there is a possibility that they don't like people embedding pictures on forums? I also wonder if they have been victims of bots and if they've had to do something drastic?
