Refuse collections Kelston View

Picture by Sean Moore

I have received numerous complaints about the amount of bags being left out with food waste in them on Kelston View.

It seems that despite the Council running a very good food waste collection service some people are ignoring this and leaving food waste in their bags allowing birds to attack the bags overnight and leave a mess everywhere.

The council have reacted and will be running a educational program to encourage residents in the area to recycle their food waste and not put it out in their black sacks each week.

I have asked that the council monitor the area and ensure that it is cleared up regularly after collections.
