Hotham Road North-Bricknell Avenue bins
John Fareham and John Abbott continue to work to secure replacement litter bins for the junction of Hotham Road North and Bricknell Avenue.
We were given to understand that one of the bins had already been replaced, but when we went to see for ourselves we found that the damaged bin adjacent to the bus stop was still in position, as was the burnt out bin further along. We therefore decided to refer the matter once again to the officers, who were labouring under the misapprehension that one of the bins had been replaced of and that all that remained to be done was to replace the other. We hope drawing this matter to their attention will enable them to replace both bins at the same time, but if it does not we will continue to press for the replacement of them both.

I have just finished reading your monthly news letter and thought I would come onto your blog site to what else you have said.
ReplyDeleteWith regards the bins this was something I spoken about some time ago and got the bin put on the corner of Linkfield Road. Since the bin has been installed it has been used very well and in some cases to over flowing. However having the bins put in areas where they may be used is all good and well but it’s getting people to use them. I wrote to the Head Teacher of Kelvin and Wyke some time ago and ask if they could spread the word of littering in area. Something must have been said as the littering tended not to be as much but after a while the can kicking, bottle throwing and chip wrapping dropping had restarted.
I think we need to start with educating the younger generation first and make them proud of the area they live in. Let’s not forget 2017 City of Culture not the City of Junk on the Streets.
Lets Bin it not drop it
