Just to play devil's advocate, I can imagine a number of scenarios where it might end up there through no fault of her own. Seems an odd item to flytip when it would be less effort to cut up and throw in the recycling. Obviously, if she did tip it hope she gets a sanction but there are alternative explanations...

really?


so owner disposes of her rubbish and someone moves it? What scenarios are there that explain an item dumped on a street rather than being disposed of correctly?


I had an upstairs neighbor who thought that - because we were having bonfires - thought she could throw her rubbish from her window into my garden.


I pulled her up about it as it included letters with her name on and very disgusting personal items.


I aksed her if she really thought my other half should pick up her used women's items. I guess the fact that I bumped into her when out and asked her in front of other people properly shamed her. It stopped and she won't look me in the ye any more.


There are people who don't think/ can't think/ don't care.

Fallen off a bin lorry/skip? Paid someone to take it away who then dumped it? Someone asked for the box (I've sometimes been asked for large boxes by people wanting them for moving etc) then decided they didn't need it and dumped it?


Quite possibly it is a straightforward case of dumping, though again, why carry a cardboard box a significant distance to dump it when it could be cut up and put in the recycling in minutes? Just suggesting alternatives before we get the pitchforks and burning torches out...

I once worked at a company with distinct branded boxes. We were forbidden from taking used ones home (for moving etc) as they would occasionally be dumped and the company would get hassled about it.

    • The sites in question though are not comparable to the builders yard by the station and less likely to be granted planning permission for 9 storey buildings. The builders yard fronts on to the railway line on one side and virtually no residential property surrounding on the other sides. The Gibbs & Dandy /Kwikfit and ED trading trading estate are surrounded at close proximity by residential, and in the case of the latter a Grade II building, so there would more stringent height restrictions. Both these sites are tired and in need of development to provide much needed housing.
    • Not sure if this is any help but was initally told to use google chrome as the browser and the code was the reference. However the person at Southwark parking took pity on me and did it for me 
    • I can see how it could've worked 20 or 30 years ago, when you couldn't swing a pool cue in the Foresters without hitting a sparks, a plumber or a chippy, but the area has changed somewhat. I'm not sure people around here have such trade-able skills these days. Have a word with someone in your local and you'll see. People are always going to need their boiler fixed, a damp patch sorted or their dimmer switch dimmed, but I can pretty much guarantee I'm never going need my corporate policy complied with, my social media planned, my data mined, my green transport tsared, my information architected or my analytics analysed. It reminds me of the great DIY con of the mid to late seventies. My Mum bought into it, my Dad didn't. Anyway, my Mum won out and we let the gardener go (he went on to be TV's Timmy Mallett, so that's a warning from history), but my Dad shorted the house out and singed his head when he cut through the flex on his new Black & Decker hedge trimmer. We all laughed, of course, but he got his own back when, because we didn't use a qualified electrician to do things properly, she electrocuted herself when she pulled the back of the plug off her Carmen heated rollers while it was still in the socket. Keep things professional, say 'No!' to this sort of nonsense. We pay people a decent rate of pay because they're specialists at these things. I did once barter my sister's space hopper and roller skates for twenty-odd square foot of crazy paving, though. That was a birthday present my Mum never forgot, and not in a good way.  
    • Thanks both of you. I have also been having the same problem. I emailed the named person on the letter, with no response. I also tried phoning and was transferred to another number which cut me off. I hope they extend the deadline for applying as there are likely to be many people without a permit by the deadline for applying.
