A Reader informed us about an illegal dump by road 297, between Trzebień and Golnice (Bolesławiec municipality):Reader:
Someone has set up another dump...
Let us therefore recall a comment by Jarosław Babiasz, head of the Agriculture, Real Estate and Municipal Services Department at the Bolesławiec Municipal Office, made on another, albeit similar occasion:
As a municipality, we systematically clean up such “eyesores” – a symbol of the perpetrator’s stupidity, provided they are located on municipal land. In other cases, in accordance with the law, we are forced to call on the landowner to clean it up, and the owner then seeks compensation from the perpetrator.
J. Babiasz added:
This problem can only be described by paraphrasing the words of Captain Wagner from the film C.K. Dezerterzy: “There are no words in the vocabulary of cultured people that could describe such conduct with sufficient insult.” Of course, here I should quote once again the words of Mrs Margaret Thatcher from the article about vandals, but I will shorten it to the punchline – we all pay for such cunning. Last year alone, we spent PLN 11,000 from the municipal budget for this purpose, while this year we have already spent PLN 14,000.
Of course, I am aware that once again my comment will stir up people who relativize such behaviour; nevertheless, I continue to appeal for the same things: care for our money, vigilance regarding strange phenomena (for example, a delivery van with or without a trailer in an open field or under a forest on a dirt road, far from buildings – farmers generally do not drive into fields in low-clearance vehicles) and, above all, care for our local community.
