GV of the hay bales in the village of Ockbrook in Derbyshire, where residents have been left shocked by a huge stack of hay bales dumped right next to their homes. 15 August 2018. See NTI story NTIBALES; Villagers have been left stunned after 30 tonnes of hay bales were left towering above their homes. The 30ft-high stacks were left in a field adjacent to the back gardens of ??500,000 detached properties. Resident Peter Shaw, 55, noticed the bales which were left stacked behind his house on Cole Road, Ockbrook, Derbys., last Thursday (9/8). The villagers believe they were put there deliberately after a planning application by a farmer to run a waste processing site was rejected. Mr Shaw and his wife Helen, 50, moved into the home in 2004, and say they have never had a problem with the famer, Richard Barton, before. But Mr Shaw, who works in the motoring trade, says the bales are a potential fire risk.
