Dear Julie,
I don’t feel that this is a Neighbourhood Watch issue.
I suggest you take it up with Cilla Bromley (environment) and Steve Coe (fire risk). Also possibly Law Enforcement. Have you spoken to the house owners?
Regards
Geoff

Subject: dumping of garden cuttings and rubbish
Dear Geoff,
Since I moved to Glencairn Heights I have observed our neighbour’s garden man regularly dumping all the garden cutting and any other for of rubbish that he needed to clear from the property over the property wall into the open mountain side. The rubbish pit has in the past been substantial and the contents ranged from any form of plastic, paper, childrens broken toys to disused wood with rusty nails in it.
When the ”Fire Clearing Team’ cleared the fire breaks in December 2009 I stood and observed the procedure whilst walking my dogs. I witnessed one of the women working on the team stand on a wooden plank which was covered with garden cutting from the property in question. The wood had a number of large rusty nail protruding from it, resulting in the women being extremely badly injured (the nails went thru the show and thru her foot) she had to be rushed to hospital.
I spoke to the gardener in question this morning who told me that I did not know what I was talking about and that he had been told to dispose of the waste by the owner and that he had been doing so for the past 5 years
I am also concerned that the above dumping of waste matter is a fire hazard.
The property is No. 51 Cockburn Street, Glencairn Heights, Mr and Mrs Dave and Undree Deglon.
