I took a 5 minutes stroll to the local shops - and 5 mins. back - then spent a good 15-20 minutes reporting the fly-tipping I encountered. #Bristol #TidyBS5

@StingrayBadger@zirk.us Shame there's no local government elections in my bailiwick this year. The Greens gained the most seats in last year's council elections in #Bristol.

"Liberal Democrat councillor for Whitchurch Park Tim Kent said: “The way Wessex Water just pumps sewage and uses our rivers as a toilet is a disgrace. “They’ve got away with this now for decades. They’ll happily take our money constantly when we pay our water rates, yet what do they do with our sewage? They just pour it into our rivers.”" #Bristol https://www.bristol247.com/news-and-features/news/denial-untreated-sewage-turning-brook-into-brown-sludge/

Dumping furniture on the street even if it is labelled 'Free' is still fly-tipping and can attract a maximum penalty of £50K and/or 6 months imprisonment. Give your 'free' furniture to a charity shop or put in on the likes of Freecycle or similar to avoid a criminal record and an empty bank account. #TidyBS5 #Bristol

Public sector IT procurement cock-ups - latest. "Since the software went live, the number of overdue repairs on council homes jumped from 8,000 to 20,000, but council staff say they can’t trust these figures which are inaccurate. And council tenants now need two separate email addresses if they want to bid on a new home. NEC Software Solutions is a huge company working behind the scenes in the public sector, providing computer systems used by a raft of councils and police forces. The company denied they were responsible for the inaccurate repair data and council tenants needing two emails." #Bristol https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/news/bristol-news/roll-out-botched-project-regrettable-10827724
