What next ? Skips and scaffolding only available to registered
contractors


Odd that you mention this but our local council discussed restricting use
of
skips at a recent meeting.


Scary ...

Thinking about it I suppose I really meant the ability of householders to
dump modest amounts of rubble for free at amenity sites.

I was caught out a few months ago when I towed an 8 foot trailer to my local
tip as I had done before only to be told I now needed to apply in advance
for a permit to prove I wasn't trade. My brother and I were obliged to tow
it across the county line.

A few weeks later I had to make 3 round trips with a smaller trailer to
shift the same amount of stuff.
