Comment posted Council enforcement staff to discuss fly tipping on Easdale Island by Maurice Brodie.

This land is not safe to be built upon because it is contaminated with buried toxic substances.

• All the more reason that the A&B Council enforcement staff in conjunction with SEPA conduct a full and thorough investigation to establish the identify of the anti-social culprit(s).
  It would not be in the council’s interests to attempt a whitewash.
• They will probably claim that this is what the “community” wants, which seems to be their standard statement.
• Fly tipping is a serious criminal offence punishable by fine and/or a jail term.

  This section of land has been used as a dumping ground for builder’s waste for many years, although the problem certainly has got a lot worse since Eilean Eideal aquired the land. The published pictures only show the rubbish above ground, they don’t show all the builder’s waste that has been buried on this ground.

  As well as the asbestos mentioned in the article it is likely that this land has been thoroughly contaminated with other toxic substances such as petrol, diesel, paint and CFCs from old fridges.

  As has been mentioned in other posts, the islanders are well aware of who created all this mess. As can be seen from the pictures some of these items could not have been man-handled onto this ground it would require transporting using suitable vehicles. The question is who owns these vehicles and who has been using them?

  Talk about clutching at straws. When you voice extreme and unpopular views as you do is it no wonder that the vast majority of readers give you and NCH a thumbs down for your inane ranting and rambling.

  This is very reassuring and ‘Eilean Eisdeal’ would do well to take note. I wish you well with your venture.

  I have no problems at all with the concept of this project and it has my whole hearted support. However, I would like some assurance that this Trust is following the correct procedures and that they are not another ‘Eilean Eisdeal’ who do not put their projects out to tender despite being instructed to do so by the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator.

  Maybe you could also tell us whether or not the project has been put out to tender.
• Scotland’s Relationship with Alcohol debate: ‘We all have a role to play’, says Thompson
  The article states that alcohol misuse costs Scotland £3.6 billion a year which is greater than the profits of the Scottish whisky industry estimated to be £3 billion a year. It is time to get much tougher with alcohol and to ban its consumption in outdoor public places such as at sporting events, music festivals etc. Alcohol misuse is a far greater problem than smoking and should be treated in the same way.
