WOOD: Situation is ridiculous

It is ridiculous that local people who wanted wood were not allowed to take it.

The Green hierarchy is reduce waste/materials, re-use waste/materials, repair materials, recycle materials.

If residents had a good use for the wood, rather than burning it, then they should have been allowed to take away the timber provided they were not burning it and causing pollution.

However, if they wanted to burn some of the wood for a community barbecue, I believe, in the circumstances, this would be perfectly sensible considering the outrageous abuse of the community by subjecting them to weeks of listening to it being shredded for incinerator fuel etc.

Incinerators; which are totally negative for the environment rely on clean fuel to start them.

This wood could have been used to:

Mend and make fences.

Make and mend allotment sheds.

Make and mend compost bins.

To build adventure playgrounds.

To make garden furniture.

What a waste to shred it but what a fire risk and danger to human health to allow it to accumulate to such a woodpile.
