Skip Enclosure

I see that Booth's Bookshop have hired a skip, and surrounded it with a barricade! It's on the grassy area just above the Library - which is ground that does not belong to Booths.
I wonder what they're so worried about. There's been a skip, on and off, down at the other end of Chancery Lane for a couple of years, and they haven't had any trouble. There's another one outside the Black Lion, which has been in operation for a similar length of time, and they don't seem to have had any trouble either.
Is the Bookshop trying to stop people from taking builder's rubble out, or people putting extra stuff in?

Apparently, it took them three or four weeks to get permission from the council to put it there! I think the "barricade" should be given top some budding artist to pretty it up. Would possibly look better than it does right now?

Could it be something to do with the complaints from neighbours of the nasty dust making their cars all dirty the last time they had a skip there?
