Nautical flytipping

Not exactly on our patch, but we couldn't resist this story from the Bristol Evening Post:

Council workers called out to deal with a complaint of fly-tipping found a 12ft speedboat dumped at the roadside.

The boat was reported to the authority by residents living in Perrinpit Road, in Winterbourne.

A South Gloucestershire Council spokeswoman said: "This was a first for us. It has been removed and taken to a council amenity site."
