FLY-TIPPING of building waste has prompted Stow Town Council to ban allotment holders from using its skips on the allotment site. Burials board chairman Colin Smalley said builders had been using the skip, which is primarily for use by cemetery workers, meaning that they were becoming full up too quickly. “We are having vans turn up with builders’ rubbish. It’s regular and they know it’s there,” said Coun Smalley, who said steps would be taken to stop the tipping. Parks committee chairman Keith Cox said: “We change those skips every month at a cost of £168. Allotment holders will no longer be able to use those skips for their rubbish.”
