Southminster is a large village on the Dengie peninsula at the end of the Crouch Valley rail line, with a compact centre around the High Street and St Leonard's Church and open farmland on all sides. The nearest tip is at Burnham-on-Crouch, which opens four days a week and does not accept vans.
Building activity in Southminster is a mix of edge-of-town housing and small jobs on existing homes. A current proposal is for up to 249 dwellings on land north of Scotts Hill, with 30 per cent affordable housing, public open space and new highway works. Within the conservation area in the centre, demolition and some external alterations are controlled. The High Street, North Street and Station Road are the town's main streets, the last running to the railway terminus, so a skip is better placed off the highway wherever a plot allows.
The grab reaches about 6 metres from where the lorry stands, so the pile can stay on the drive, the front garden or the verge. On Southminster's terraced streets there's rarely a drive, so the truck stops in the road, right by the front door. Send a photo of the pile and the road and we'll confirm the lorry can get in.
Nothing sits on the public road, so no licence from Essex County Council is needed, and there's no at least a week wait.
