The cnllr needs to take a long hard look at every road in the city to make an assessment of the needs for wheelie bins as it is now apparent no formal consultation is going to happen. I will be refusing mine when they are delivered and deal with my own rubbish as I think fit. Wheelie bins like wind farms are a blot on our environment. perhaps when they are outside the council house those that represent our views because we vote for them will wake up.
In theory, I’m all for it but in practice this isn’t going to work for everybody. The council really needs to think this one through, there are limitations that wheelie bins have that the current system doesn’t present. I am glad the council is taking it’s Equality obligations seriously but still needs to have due regard to people who are older/younger (age), race - as some may not understand this issue, those who are pregnant, and the disabled (phsyical, mental, social etc) otherwise the council would have bite off more than it can chew. Also why 3 bins, two larger ones are better with a designated seperate or co-joining service for garden/compost waste.
I have seen areas that have bins. The whole area looks terrible. People have no where to store the bins and they have to be placed in front gardens. Why do we never look at the aesthetics of an area. I think this leads to areas becoming run down and unkept. This then leads to people not having pride in where they live and young people then feeling lacking in self worth.
Because they do not live in an heritage area or an area that have properties where bins do not cause a problem because they can be stored out of site and so are not detrimental to the look of an area. Making this comment is a waste of time as the decision has already been taken. Yet another fall in standards in my opinion.
Most people will have no option but to leave wheeled bins in their front garden area, particularly elderly people or those with limited mobility. This is both detrimental to the look of the area as a whole (which it appears the council is not particularly concerned about), but also leaves the bins open to damage and vandalism, together with the problem of people ‘adding’ to the bin. Our area already has problems with vandalism and I would not want anything else on my property to draw the unwanted attention of people who do this.
aesthetics aside for one moment.(they look awful)
a) if not all areas for whatever reason dont have wheelie bins then i presume black bin collection carries on…who pays for that?
b) tipping wheelie bins must = slower. Above the BCC say no job losses.Then how can this bin collection be funded? it must be all central gov funded. If that is the case when we get to the end of the grant something has to give and that must be redundencies or less frequent collections. We the city residents are being set up here!!
c) i have yet to see how wheelie bins = more recycling.if you cannot be bothered to put it in green or blue bins why would you change your habits just cos you now have wheelie bins?
I wish my bins could be delivered straight away
a lot better than the little boxes we have
I hated the idea of recycling a few years ago but all up for it.
