Thick mud on road from farm machinery, 18th November

Thu, 18 Nov 2021 16:01:30 +0000
50.95891 -2.160209

There is a layer of thick mud on the road which covers the northbound carriageway. It is thick enough to almost cause me to fall off my motorcycle and cars are pulling into the oncoming lane to avoid it. I thought farmers had to clear the mud from their vehicles. There is no warning sign and light conditions are dim. The mud extends 200m along the road. This is very dangerous and as the light fades could cause a serious accident

5 tonnes concrete approximately, with some blue dpm. Good quality concrete hardcore. Surely of value to someone., 10th September

50.950828 -2.165934

This waste has been dumped here for over two months and has not been removed by North Dorset District Council yet. The local authority are responsible for this piece of ground, I believe, becauses it is an acknowledged parking facility leading to the public right of way access to a scheduled ancient monument - the stryp lynchetts in Fontmell Magna.
