That must be hard. My sister is a cop and regularly has to carry out this task. Not an easy thing to see.

Vib, knowing you as i do, i'm sure you done all you could to help the man as you do to all that enter your premises. I for one am grateful for the advice you have given me.....Bless you.I have to agree, the site looks like an accident waiting to happen. Dosen't look safe at all.....Let's hope Health and Safety close this pit down once and for all......for all our benefit.

What happened to the man in question - was it a motoring accident or something intrinsically concerned with the waste station.... and what is Vib's business? I mean was he involved because he works there (it doesn't sound like it) or because he was being a good neighbour externally and - if so - why was the business concerned unable to look after its own injured?

Front page item from this afternoon. Will update tomorrow once I get more news.

Sara. Vib is the owner of Jallas the chemists almost next door to the site mentioned in Horn Lane.....I would imagine someone from the yard ran into him for help........Don't know any details of the accident itself..

very sad a man lost his life. I saw the air ambulance in the area around 4.30- 5.00pm, looking for somewhere to land. Never a good sign when the air ambulance has been called in. Thoughts with his family.
