  • "where do you want them to be left?

    On the road?

    On the grass verges?

    On the pavement where they were left originally by the household?

    Wherever they're left, someone will complain about it. Maybe they should just get rid of rubbish collection alltogether and make households take them to the tip."

My bin bother

I COMPLAINED to City of York Council on January 20 concerning wheelie bins blocking the pavement after refuse collections, forcing mothers with prams to negotiate roads to pass the bins because of pavement obstructions.

I have received a reply saying the complaint has been passed to the refuse department and another reply from the council’s frontline department after I had enquired as to why no reply after ten days, telling me to be patient they need ten working days to investigate – a month on still no answer.

But then again I only pay rates to them to do a job properly why should they bother what I say or think?

Dr Brian Welsh, Holgate Road, York.
