Beckfield Lane recycling centre petition – weather puts dampener on signature collection
Now litter bins disappearing in Acomb
Hard on the heels of disappearing lampposts, not to mention the Council branch office on Carr Lane, residents have reported the loss of several litter bins from the Front Street shopping area.
They have been replaced by one of the new hi tech bins which reports itself when full.
Earlier reports had suggested that this type of bin would be trialled in the City centre. It seems now that Acomb residents will be the guinea pigs for these bin trials as well.
The new bins are much more expensive than convention bins and, of course, some residents are not inclined to walk very far to find a litter bin
