Default The "Gardener's Car" very OT at present

The message
from "Farm1" please@askifyouwannaknow contains these words:

A VW Polo with a trailer, keeps the car clean and is economical. One
very recent disadvantage local councils are now banning trailers to
their "amenities" centres. Fly tipping, here it come! Daft rules.


This Colonial needs an explanation. What are "amenities" centres?
(Is it a rubbish tip?)


Yes. Most local councils have separate charges and sometimes
licences, for commercial rubbish-contributors Presumably some jobsworth
has decided that towing a trailer is a secret sign of running a
business.

Do they allow drivers of white vans to use the amenities, Broadback?

And what is "fly tipping"? (Is it illegal
dumping?)


Yes.

Janet.
