within a few months of each other and less than half a mile, I think there’s a bigger issue a foot farms now. No need for this sort of silly business making the job ten times harder than ever needed.
Anyone going to hazard a guess at which farm/contractor/waste site.... as they’ve been hauling soil instead of using lorries on red. Same contractor has had issues with staff falling asleep driving through hedges with umbilical lines and booms unfolded and waking up a good way into the neighbours field: due to the big hours they’re forcing them to do.

their weigh bridge book will be getting lost shortly after the phone call I’d bet.... hope vosa request it.

poor guys spent years doing that house up off his own back and it’s just had a tractor fed through.

The JD in the second picture is pulling a rake, and the weather loooks far nicer in that part of Shropshire than it does over here......... must be if they’ve got grass to rake.😂
Ahh that was in July some time I think. But regardless of seasonality stupidity prevails.

And just before Christmas too

I can only hope that the poor home owner gets adequate payout on insurance to get the standard of work replaced and his house put back as it should be . I also hope he gets a decent rental property paid for whilst all of that is going on

sadly not I’m not sure that house would be structurally sound anymore, you can see the roofs dipped.
