John Fareham and John Abbott have arranged for the relocation of a litter bin on National Avenue that was being used as a stepping-stone by vandals to access National Avenue allotments.
This matter was drawn to our attention by an allotment holder who had seen this bin being used in just such a fashion and could not understand at all why the bin was on that side when the houses were on the other side and bin users might well have been expected to prefer not to cross the road to get rid of sweet wrappers or the like. We therefore contacted the local area team who now understand that the bin will be moved further down National Avenue and away from the allotments within the week so that it cannot be climbed on to get into the allotments. John, Andrew Percy and John have forked out Community Initiatives funding over the years to improve litter bin provision nearby and we now hope that getting this one on the correct side of the road will improve its throughput of litter.
