More on Ancaster Avenue wheelie-bins

John Fareham and John Abbott are working to resolve issues with the proposal to stop emptying Ancaster Avenue wheelie-bins via the tenfoot.

Following your response to our vigorous campaign, a report from the officers now says the problem is centred around the tenfoot from 51 to 111 Ancaster Avenue and the amount of damage caused by refuse trucks to the old tenfoot surface.  The officers maintain that collecting wheeled bins from the front is the solution, which would be particularly awkward for those residents living on the even-numbered side and in the corners whose front garden paths are the longest, but the response to CONTACT! 1360 was entirely opposed to this idea.  We are therefore arranging a meeting with the officers via our local Area Team and we are hopeful that a solution can be worked out that will prevent further structural damage to the tenfoot without putting local residents to the sort of inconvenience many of you have already made it clear that you do not want.
