Hi. No going to the tip here... You may remember that Mr Legs of Mustard fame lives near the tip - (The tip is, in fact, a Cul-de-sac that leads down to Wat Tylers Nature Park), but the private Vehicles (NOT Dustcarts) has a queue of hours on that road; so there is an accumulation of post-Christmas ...
