SEPA are monitoring the area but there may be concern about the local wildlife and eco system so other agencies are involved.<br /><br />This practice IS legal but there are are very strict guidelines. This area is neglected so some people appear to create their own laws and get off with it......GentleOtterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04728896118931496934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5804759117912757983.post-83293110919397201802013-05-30T03:20:48.323-07:002013-05-30T03:20:48.323-07:00You're stick between the devil and the deep bl...You're stick between the devil and the deep blue sea.

The landlord has full knowledge as this practice has gone on for seven years.<br />We are surrounded by three private estates, two are owned by dreadful landowners and the other one is exemplary.

SEPA visited after the incident and none of us were informed about how best to cope with our water being hit.<br /><br /> I phoned the number and spoke to someone just a few minutes ago and they felt that this is a serious incident.GentleOtterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04728896118931496934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5804759117912757983.post-76263894127560430182013-05-29T16:18:05.410-07:002013-05-29T16:18:05.410-07:00Don't SEPA have anything to say?

We have just had an ...Thank you, a fly in the web.<br /><br />We have just had an impromtu meeting with the neighbours here and every single one of us is experiencing burning eyes, clogged up breathing, burned lips and sore throats.<br />Rosie and I have been vomiting and cannot eat.<br /><br />The supplier of the human faeces is whoever bought Oran. the drivers "Do not know who they work for". We cannot ascertain whether the farmer is being paid to take this stuff yet there are a couple more farmers at this practice in this glen.<br />The smell is indescribable.<br /><br />I was a nurse and have dealt with many grim odours, I have delivered putrid lambs which had died in utero and that smelt horrible but this smells like nothing I can describe.<br /><br />There is not a single member in this community nor the neighbouring estate who has been unaffected, either by the smell or the burning mucus membranes yet NOBODY is willing to do anything. They are unwilling to move the animals plus the entire eco system has been affected.<br />There is a heron nesting on the ground, red kite, rabbits and hares etc all affected. We have found and moved some hedgehogs to a cleaner area.<br /><br />I did not want to say this but I always thought that the Scottish Meat/ Lamb industry had the closest monitoring in Europe. The lamb kebab or beef steak being eaten tonight anywhere in the UK could have come from these fields where the animals are eating human faeces.<br /><br />I will try to contact John Ward.
