These were scenes last Tuesday in London Road, rubbish collection is Thursday, but that's neither here nor there as the most of this wouldn't be collected by the bin-men anyway. On my dog walk at 06.30 this morning two black bags had been put out overnight, naturally by this morning they were totally ripped and all over the pavement.
We did try a few years ago, as LRCF, to get the tenants of the premises above the shops to understand when (and how) to put the rubbish out. It was all to no avail however. We did have discussions with DDC who were going to issue multi-lingual leaflets, it never happened though.
I talked to a shop keeper last week who told me that he had been physically threatened over a similar issue.
