Why are our homes, our estate being allowed to be a rubbish dump?

Fly tipping and private off estate residents dumping rubbish has been historically a problem on the estate.

Why are we seen as second class citizens and subjected to being treated as an extension of the councils waste management network? that is a Rubbish Dump.

I have raised this issue many times with the council since the recycling bins came in. The response has been that they will "write to residents, again" to make them aware of the rules with regard to the Recycling bins on the estate and the orange bag scheme.

The dumping of orange bags is tantamount to fly tipping in my view.

I call on the council to use the powers they have. Through fines etc. To correct this behaviour.

Clearly the letter writing is having no impact and is being treated with contempt.

Whereas I am keen to promote people to recycle. The council is loosing the battle of "hearts & minds" on this with respect to estate tenants who will request the removal of these bins purely on the basis that they DO NOT want to live amidst a rubbish tip.

I will email the powers that be, for the n'th time and feed back there plan to deal with this continual "bug bear"
