More trolleys, logging at Ridge Woods?

Sue Walker and I (Paul Hulbert) went walking in Ridge Woods Nature Reserve yesterday. We came across yet another stray trolley. Suie is arranging for it to be collected.




More worryingly, we also saw several people (one equipped with ear defenders and hard hat) cutting up a large log with a chainsaw on the pathway and then carting it off to a nearby house:

Note that we didn't see where they got the log from. It's possible that they got it from somewhere legitimate, and just took it up there to cut up. But it looked suspicious...

Trolleys given the cold shoulder

Cllrs Ian Blair and Mike Robbins found themselves with more than they bargained for when they went looking for stray supermarket trolleys. This one behind Cranleigh Court shops, Yate, came complete with a redundant fridge. "I found ten abandoned trolleys in half an hour" said Mike. "There seems to be an amphibious version as well - they seem very fond of the River Frome".
