Dear Members
A polite reminder to manage our refuse correctly during these difficult times. The Council teams have been doing a remarkable job operating with skeleton staff to keep our collections on schedule, and to empty the public bins on streets and in parks. At the same time, the Sea Gulls are becoming more aggressive as they can’t find food in the town centre and move up the hill to neighbouring areas like Lansdown to attack our bags on refuse nights.
This means that the Gulls are getting into waste bags which have food in them and leaving a lot of waste across our streets. Whilst Committee members help clear our streets and litter pick, could residents notice whether or not their individual refuse has been “vandalised” by Gulls and if so kindly tidy it to keep our neighbourhood clean. The Council don’t have the capacity currently to send their street cleansing teams to do this for us.
Many thanks.
