A contractor renovating a house on ridge way parade has dumped approx 5 tonnes of soil in the road with no permit, partially blocking pavement, assumed skip has not arrived, they have partitioned off other side of road with no warnings, which is also not adjacent to the property being worked on , assumed to reserve for another Skip, they already have a space for external toilet and skip outside the property, for a road with existing parking issues this is not a practical way of working . when I have had ordered Skips for this road I pay for a road permit and do not just dump on road when it’s not there , please note this is not dumped out side the property being worked on this outside my property, ( 378 fishponds road, corner of ridgeway parade) they have dumped it 50 meters away from renovation property
