Ignorant person dumps hyperdermic needles

Why oh Why are some people just plain ignorant and could not care about others.

It was Sunday morning that a phone call came through from a resident telling me that some one had dumped a bag full of used hyperdermic needles and condoms in a hedge at Eleanor Close.

This sort of behaviour is not acceptable under any circumstances.

We would like to thank the council for having these quickly removed after we reported them.

Hypodermic needles found

It is important that people watch out for hypodermic needles in the Twerton as the reports that I have had about them being discarded proved to be correct when one was found close to my home this morning.

As we all know children will pick up anything and play with it so parents need to be extra vigilant to ensure they do not get into the wrong hands.

The Council will collect discarded hypodermic needles from council owned land. If you come across a hypodermic needle and it needs safely removing then please contact Council Connect on 394041.
