Regards the recently found addressed fly tipping.....

Fuel leak along River Tame that has been going on for about five days now from the direction of Oldbury, most likely Dudley Road East/Hainge Road areas. Please continue to report pollution issues to The Environment Agency on 0800 80 70 60. It is not acceptable that this has been going on for so long.

So Mr Ye Zhaoming of some dodgy proxy address, can you please exprane how this stuff from your business in Oldbury got fly tipped down Old brickworks walk in Great Bridge? Sandwell council will hopefully be asking you questions soon.

HELP US GIVE SHEEPWASH THE ENTRANCE IT DESERVES

The Friends of Sheepwash Local Nature Reserve are working to restore the main gates and create a much stronger, more welcoming entrance to the reserve.

A fabricator is already helping us bring the gates back towards their original condition. We’d now like to go further — with wildlife-themed metalwork, better signage and possible laser or waterjet-cut embellishments.

The images are mock-ups of what we’d love to achieve. We know reality may need a bit of engineering sense applied!

We’re looking for local companies, sponsors and supporters who might help with:

✅ Materials
✅ Laser or waterjet cutting
✅ Fabrication
✅ Finishing / powder coating
✅ Sponsorship or donations
✅ Engineering advice
✅ CSR or partnership support

And the gates are only the start. We have other ideas involving schools, wildlife groups and the wider community.

If your business can help — or you know someone who might — please get in touch with the Friends of Sheepwash.

Arson incidents now getting out of hand. Somewhere some of the current generation of youth are broken, psychologically unstable and need locking up when as in this incident they put people's property and lives at risk by lighting fires at the rear of the canal which quickly spread out of control. Some time back I interviewed someone from WMFS about a scheme called the fire counselling service, which aimed to prevent youths at risk of doing this. The funding was being cut by the then government, but it would be interesting to find out what exists today and if more should be done to prevent arson. Would also like to pay tribute to Dan Ray, a tireless community champion who was knocking people's doors and trying to make people safe. He has helped us out before trying to rescue a bird. Some things do bring out the best in people.

Unfortunately, due to a continued campaign of harassment which is a personal vendetta against the friends of sheepwash and is now a police matter, I need to clarify that no one connected to the friends of sheepwash is or ever has been the admin of the page spotted Tipton. The same individual who lives on the Denbigh estate, who uses several fake profiles has persisted in making malicious smears, lies and fabricated statements about members of the friends of sheepwash over many months, and calls you a coward when she is blocked and when others have challenged her "picking on a "disabled" woman". It cannot and will not continue.
