FLY TIPPING FINGERPOST GARDENS GET NEW LEASE OF LIFE We understand that recently The fingerpost Gardens have been looking neglected for some time and in particular there have been bags of builders the one of the raised flowerbeds had subsided badly. The EVRA applied for a grant rubble left at the recycling site on from the Councils' Community Forum and appointed a Contractor to repair the Bury Road. This is fly tipping and is subsided garden. This work has now been completed and the whole thing looks much better. There is scope for more remedial work and we will look at applying for illegal. Such waste should be put another grant to deal with that. In addition, we have been concerned about what is in a skip hired by the perpetrator planted in the gardens, which again looks very poor so we are looking at ways of who we assume is a builder doing improving this.
