Fair warning, this is a little strange.


A few weeks ago we found a plastic carrier bag filled with ash placed on the pavement outside our house. This was on a Tuesday evening, the bins are emptied on Tuesday mornings, so we wondered if it had perhaps fallen off the refuse lorry. So we disposed of it and thought little of it.

About a week later another one appeared tucked in under the front of our hedge. It seemed a mildly irritating bit of fly tipping, but hey ho, that's life, binned it.

The following Tuesday morning leaving the house I almost tripped over a metal bucket, full of ash, left on the pavement right outside the door. This was a bit much and I was quite irritated. Then as I walked up Abbotswood Road I saw a bag of ash outside another house and one more outside a house on Burrow Road.

Last night I walked home and counted one bag at the entrance of Burrow Road, Three on Abbotswood and a last one on Talbot in addition to a further one under our hedge.

This evening walking back from the station two more have popped up on St Francis Road.


We are at something of a loss to work out the motivation behind this or how to stop it. Has anybody else noticed more of these little packages being distributed? It does not feel like a criminal matter but we would like it to cease.

    • It’s a 4 year old on a bike do you really think he is going 15mph. Grown adults complaining about a child who probably isn’t able to string a few sentences together says a lot about the people in this forum. If this member was hit from behind the father was probably walking behind the bike so I don’t get the point of stretching out an overreaction from a child in Nursery bumping into you. Grow up Obviously a four year old should be cycling on the pavement.
    • Malumbu,  if none of us were there, does that mean that nobody should post anything on here unless they have witnesses from the EDF? Why would someone post something like this if it  wasn't true? This is not about whether children should or should not be cycling on the pavement. There are specific issues. a) the child was out of sight of the person supposed to be caring for him b) he appears to have been  either not looking where he was going or was out of control of the bike c) if he did see that he was about to hit someone  he apparently did not give them any kind of warning  d)  a person was unexpectedly hit from behind whilst just walking along, which in my view makes him a victim e) does the title of the thread really matter as the issue was described in the first post?  f) nobody is blaming the child, they are blaming the person who should have been watching him g) do you really think it was acceptable for that person to find the situation funny? The OP was not complaining about the 4 year old. They were complaining about an adult's lack of supervision of a 4 year old who was not capable of riding a bike and who hit someone from behind with no warning. Also, apart from reading the OP more carefully, perhaps also choose your words more carefully. Jobless? Lunatic? Charming.
    • Completely jobless and lunatic behaviour coming on a forum and complaining about a 4 year old and the child’s bike riding skills. Honestly grow up
    • I have to say, I too am upset about the passing of DulwichFox. He was a real local character, who unlike me, managed to stick with ED despite all of the nauseous yuppification of the last three decades. R.I.P to foxy    Louisa.
