A lot of people I spoke to afterwards didn't even know what a WCO was so I think your idea is a very good one  |
Hi Pat
I had a similar incident on a much larger scale and the Police W O couldn't do a thing about it. Here is a link to the story I first placed on WAB last year.

It is incredible the Blasé attitude that Councils and industry have to the environment & wildlife in general and in the main there isn't the protection for them that we think there is.
A section on do's and don't's might come in handy and within that section could be included things where problems have arisen together with how the authority's have dealt with it, who those authorative bodies were and the eventual outcome.
