Judith, I think that my neighbour has suffered enough, and may not appreciate any further inconvenience. I believe that CCBC Maintenance Services are dealing with her damage, although I am yet to hear from them!
Plus, I will not be in town until Jan 2nd.
However, if a reporter / photographer had been up here on Boxing Day, they would have seen two main stories.
1, Damage to buildings, roofs, trees and fences.... caused by 'natural' storms, which seem to be more and more frequent these days.
2, A vast amount of tin cans, broken glass, plastic etc... littering the road and the hedgerows, from the recycling trolley boxes which were annihilated by the storm.
Much has been picked up by residents now, and much has been blown away, but I have also sustained some damage to my car (others may have too?) from these trolley boxes flying around.
All around the area, you will now see piles of plastic recycling boxes which have been separated from their trollies.
No doubt people are requesting new ones. A costly business all in all.
