John Fareham and John Abbott report that a possible alternative to Ancaster Avenue wheelie-bins being collected from the front is under consideration, with cost being the remaining issue.
After prolonged pressure on our part officers of the Council visited Ancaster Avenue and took a good look at the size of the tenfoot. They concluded that it would be easy enough for residents to put their bins out as usual at the back and for the binmen to drag them to the end of the tenfoot where the dustcart would be waiting. Even from the mid-point of the tenfoot, this would mean pulling the bins for 50 yards at most. This is of course at present only a proposal but we think it is a better way round than front bin collection, and from what many local residents have told us, it may be a preferable option for them too.
