When the rain stopped two days ago, your Blogger went to have a look at the state of the burn and found it full of rubbish -- chockablock!
It doesn't help that there's a culvert or duct running below the concrete platform of the footbridge, where everything gets caught. 
But why anyone would toss a traffic cone into the burn is beyond me, or a big MDF panel.
This morning, some members of the Oban Employability Team came in to lift the rubbish…
… the platform of their small pickup was almost full by the time they were done!How much effort and energy went into clearing this rubbish. Shame on anyone who uses the burn as a rubbish dump.

The men were sent out this morning at the request of K.H. at ACHA. This work was carried out free of charge with only disposal costs being sought by ourselves.
We will continue to do this as long as we are able to recuperate the disposal charges, however, since ACHA are footing the bill we have to act under their instruction.
Hope this helps

Thank you, ACHA and Employability, for clearing the burn. We will keep a weather eye out for any further problems that may arise. But hopefully, your action will help keep flooding down.
Yours
