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?)

Yep

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

Yes - as in 'on the fly' = quickly and often at night :~)

Bit late with answering the question, but they stopped the white vans by
the simple expediency of putting up low barriers, that 4x4 can only just
scrape (and sometime they do!) under. The other stupidity is that you
have to give name and postcode so they check that you are a rate payer
on that council. The result of this is that some peeps who are 1-2 miles
from this tip have to drive 15/16 miles to their council's one. Very
environmentally friendly is that one.
