John Fareham and John Abbott report that a change in dustbin collection arrangements for Ancaster Avenue is under consideration in order to prevent dustcarts damaging tenfoots.
We have been receiving complaints from some local residents that, however lightweight a vehicle the corporate centre sends to empty dustbins from the rear of local residents’ homes, it is still too heavy not to damage the tenfoots. We are therefore in discussions with the officers about whether the solution to this might be refuse collection from the front of local residents’ homes and we would actively welcome any comments local residents may have as to whether or not they like the proposed collection of wheelie-bins from the front of their properties. We are also insisting that officers, who have already encountered similar problems elsewhere in the city, hold off on writing to you giving you two weeks’ notice of the change in order that residents may have the opportunity to tell us what they think. The officers work for you, not the other way round, and this is one instance where they may need to be reminded.
