AT 12.45pm on Sunday I was turned away from York's Beckfield Lane tip. The gate was shut and I was told the tip was closed because it was full.
In the minute or so I was there five or six others were also turned away.
I took my waste home and unloaded it and I hope the others did the same. But some may have dumped their load illegally.
The opening hours of the Beckfield Lane site are already totally inadequate as has been indicated in letters to the Evening Press. The new Liberal Democrat council included in its manifesto keeping the countryside clear of fly-tipping. If it is serious about this it needs to look urgently at the operation and opening hours of the Beckfield Lane tip.
