People breaking planning rules is having a huge effect on my community - and there are no consequences for those who do it.

"On March 2, 2017 I was cycling home from work when I hit a pothole. The hole measured four inches in depth and was over a foot long."

In September 2016, 1,000 tonnes of waste at a farm in Rugeley caught fire. Smoke travelled for four miles. It smouldered for 18 months.

"My friend Mark and I were meeting, as we often do, for a Friday night beer when the subject of potholes came up. Mark is a car and scooter user and I’m a cyclist."

As with many 20th century shop rows, Greenhill Parade in New Barnet is served by an unadopted lane, which runs behind the shops.

The Flint Bridge Plantation is part of Brocket Park, a private park criss-crossed by public rights of way. The fly tipping is a result of an opening through the boundary, screened from the road, that is wide enough to admit a lorry or large van.

"I could not believe my eyes. The fly-tipping had become out of control. I had to be careful where I was cycling because there were, amongst other things, asbestos sheets lying around."
