Default Tip permit!

The worst was Malton tip where there was no way for the lorries to
remove the skips while cars were driving in and out, so every time a
skip was full and a lorry arrived to take it away, they had to close the
tip and clear all the cars out while the lorry reversed up, picked up
the skip, stopped for a cup of tea and a chat with his mates (*) and
then drove out. Meanwhile a long queue of cars had to wait on the entry
road until the tip re-opened, queuing on a minor road and then round the
corner onto a more major road, which blocked access of all through
traffic, and also all traffic wanting to get to the rest of the
industrial estate.


Many tips restrict access when the large skips are being removed/changed
even where there is sufficient space to maneuver the lorry - probably
for legitimate safety reasons. Failure of the lifting equipment may be
rare but can happen.
