The orange bags & flytipping.

Though our entrance way was saved this weekend. This picture was taken Sunday 6th April 2008. As you can see not everyone escaped the dumping of rubbish in particular. The orange bags from those living off estate.

It is also clear that addtional recycling bins only add to not deal with this problem.

I understand that the estate. As it is now managed by H&F Homes is a "private estate" and not part of the general highway. For that reason. The Street Enforcement Team have no powers as there remit is the highways. It is down to H&F Homes to deal with this. I have been made aware that a Senior Housing Officer is now dealing with it. Though again they seem limited in what they can do.

Well I think there needs to be some thought here. It is not fair on residents. It is not fair on the caretakers as this is an additional burden to their jobs. H&F Homes need to seek the apprioprate powers and more importantly USE THEM. As far as this problem is concerned. They do have an ASBO team. I wonder why flytipping & the abuse of our recycling bins is not considered Anti Social Behaviour?
