06 November 2024 Pond detritus
No, I'm not insulting you all. Although there might be the odd exception or two...
As you'll recall we had a well-supported clean-up of the overgrowing pond vegetation recently. Thank you all again. In previous years we've been very lucky to have had the possibility to dump the green waste in Peter Riley's garden, for composting and/or burning. Unfortunately Peter is no longer up to the task of managing this so we got agreement from Jo at the Springhead to temporarily deposit the green waste in the field used as overflow car parking. The intention was to have it collected by a man with a van pickup truck and taken for recycling. Well it didn't work out as hoped and we've had difficulty finding anyone who'd collect it and dispose of it. We have finally found a company, recommended by a nearby resident, but it's turned out that it's going to cost £400.
Fortunately there are still a number of households in the village who haven't paid their modest (£5) annual subscriptions, and when they pay up we'll almost cover this unexpected cost. Thank you in advance...
