Had to remove about half a ton of it before we planted new lavender shrubs in the front wee patch. No wonder the last lot of plants all died, it stank like anything! Hopefully the lavender will deter them.

Add to all of that, round here they also close roads for 'works' forcing traffic onto fewer roads, but then have no work going on for days and days. There seems to be no effort put in to minimise the inconvenience to everyone living locally.
