MARTIN YOUNG is well within his rights to carry on his fight to get an area of wasteland in Oxford recognised as a dump.

If the land was designated a dump he could put pressure on planning authorities to agree a chalet on the site.

The site measures just 20ft by 40ft and cost him the princely sum of £600 to buy.

He’s now asking Oxfordshire County Council for permission for this ‘dump’ after Oxford City Council refused it.

But it smacks of tying up public authorities in a pointless exercise that does nothing for the neighbourhood.

We hope common sense prevails.
