No wonder so much fly tipping

I was passing Ardley the other day so made a booking. You have to give car registration number, name and address, and pick a 15 minute window - too short if you are travelling far.

When arriving there was a chap asking for my car reg no. Is he blind I thought. Then I had to give my address which he had on his iPad anyway. Then he asked for a proof of address. I lost it there and asked if he was German.

Whoever designed this system needs to arrive in the 21 century. Eliminate the cost of manual checks and interrogation with anpr. Job done.

Warwickshire has introduced an experimental scheme for six months from 24 November which means no booking is required. It applies to cars, but not to  vans, pick-ups, trailers or large 4x4s. www.warwickshire.gov.uk/recyclingshipston

I think that means that waste can be taken to Shipston for the time being, as well as to any other of the sites in Warwickshire.

Let's hope the scheme gets extended. Getting to Shipston is much easier than the drive to Stanton Harcourt, and I was really sorry that access to Warwickshire waste sites was withdrawn during Covid.

You have now to book an appointment via Oxford County Council. website.........."household waste recycling centre" , also to show proof of Oxfordshire residency at the site.  One can no longer go to Shipston on Stour.
