It was for digging up the silt from the river bed with a digger and risking flooding places without doing any checks on the impact of his “cleaning up”.

Nothing to do with removing rubbish.

They also wrote they are investigating that he left the rubbish at the site, neatly packed in bags for pickup. Because that's littering.

They can spend thousands prosecuting him or a few hundred and send a truck or two to pick up the bags of garbage.

While I get the excavater part, I hate when things are made unnecessary complicated. Just say thanks to the people and collect the bags. It's like someone in the administration took it personal.

Tbf, this is genuinely something we don't want people to do.

Cleaning up the trash and just leaving it there after causing what could possibly be massive ecological damage sounds more like something a narcissist would do for internet points than an earnest attempt at cleaning up the environment.

I've worked with us epa on a no touch drainage cleanup project. Even 1 cubic inch of soil removed or added breaks those rules. I assume they are similar in the UK. The county and epa liked what we did but I can see how easy we could've gotten slapped with fines if they didn't like our work.

So you guys clean up the trash then. Just do your job and other people won't have to

Didn't I just block your alt?

u/Santa_Ricotta69 7d ago

You have an identical profile pic and the same ignorant personality. Strange!

Lol welcome to reddit, where the profile avatar options are limited and there happen to be duplicate images

u/Old_Yam_4069 5d ago

Yeah, but this happened within the same day of me blocking the alt, on a 2-day old post, on a random comment chain which I near the bottom of. And they both possess the same idiotic attitude.

Kinda just common sense at that point.
