Hardcore Horror Hits Hikers
The tranquil scenery of Orton Woods is a place where many a rambler goes to enjoy the view and the last place on earth where you would expect a great, big, dirty skip. Yet disgusted walker, Keith Smith came across a builders skip blocking his way when out for his daily morning walk.
Not only was the skip dumped near the local beauty spot of Snowdrop Corner, it had also been filled with cement which had set, making it impossible for the skip to be moved.
Mr Smith said: “This is another example of an act of vandalism against the countryside and another cost to the taxpayers of Peterborough for its clearance.”
The sight has been made ever worse by the fact that huge vehicle tyre marks have damaged the area.
Distraught ramblers have tried to contact the Peterborough council, but they are denying all knowledge of being informed of this atrocity.
Peterborough City Council’s community safety manager Christine Graham said: “Now we are aware of this issue, our officers have been down to the footpath to assess the problem and we will remove the skip as soon as we can.”
