Hutton Close dog mess

John Fareham and John Abbott continue to work to resolve problems with the disposal of dog mess in and around Hutton Close. We continue to receive reports that the bins in this vicinity are overflowing and that, contrary perhaps to our understanding of best practice, council employees are refusing to remove bags containing dog faeces. We have therefore referred our concerns about this being the case to the officers with some degree of incredulity and we will continue to pursue this matter as long as is necessary to achieve a solution. To our way of thinking, adding additional bins or increasing the capacity of the ones we have simply postpones the inevitable; arranging for the corporate centre to ensure that the bins are emptied regularly and correctly seems to us to be the way forward.
