It was blocked on the west side of Mey, people getting diverted through Scarfskerry. Police and yellow vans about the road. Don't know what was going on though.

It seems a bit ironic that we are all doing our bit to save the planet by recycling and then the recycling lorry burns a hole in the ozone with it's ploom of black smoke.

Glad no one came to harm.

There's a story going round that a car carrying some councillors was seen speeding away from the scene,after they where told that the undercover dustkart was carrying the CHaP paperwork distined for a judicial inquiry.
