Firstly, thanks goes to Tesco Riverside who have taken action regarding a shopping trolley left by some joker 12ft up in the air on a "No Waiting" sign in Seafield Road! Residents pointed it out to me when I was round there last night and following my e-mailing the Tesco Manager, its been removed. Frankly it has the potential to drop off the pole onto a parked vehicle, but as the Tesco Manager says - "the trolley is now back in the flock!!"
Secondly, for those West End residents wanting to be added to a wheelie bin route, good news!
Was advised today from Waste Management that money has been made available for the introduction of a new wheelie bin route and the parts of the West End not presently included will be under consideration. It is anticipated new routes will be introduced in April 2007.
And lastly, seagulls! Lots of concerns from residents about this in recent months. I have been speaking to Environmental Services & Trading Standards (EHTS) about this & the problem of burst open blag bags in some streets. Got further feedback from the department today -
"Waste Management's Trade Waste Officer is to be addressing this. EHTS will thereafter investigate any complaints of domestic waste being irresponsibly presented.
"As far as the gulls are concerned, we intend adopting a pro-active approach next year and will be active early in the year, prior to the nesting season, alerting property owners of the availability of our pest control service to nip nest building in the bud."
