Ash
Drive Recycling Problems |
 Residents
of Ash Drive, Haughton are having problems getting their recycling
collected. The problem appears to stem from the fact that Biffa
- the Borough Council's contractor - has purchased a fleet of
new kerbside recycling lorries which are longer than the original
rear loading wagons. These long vehicles now have problems reversing
down Ash Drive especially if there are vehicles parked in the
road! Barry Stamp has taken the matter up with the Borough Council
and has been told that the contract makes it clear that the recycling
must be collected. Officers at the Council have told him that
Biffa cannot use the parked vehicles as an excuse and if necessary
must return with a smaller lorry to make the collection. Barry
will be monitoring the situation to ensure the contractor fulfils
his commitment and that the recycling left by the residents is
collected! |
