WHAT A WASTE OF TIME THESE EEC DIRECTIVES ARE!!!
Well, some info for your site.
Our local parish council decided to install OLD sleepers along the length of the village green to stop cars driving on it. I advised that this is a public place, where children play, and old ones should not be used. They ignored this advice and installed them anyway.
I decided to try this breach, It turns out to be impossible.
I phoned local environmental health. They were not interested and told me to phone trading standards.
I phoned them, they were not interested and told me to phone health and safety.
They were not interested (not a workplace) and told me to phone the local environment agency
They were not interested and told me to phone my local council, which is where I started.
It would appear that there is NO body out there who can enforce this ruling, so therefore the ruling doesn’t exist.
What a waste of time these eec directives are!
