Minutes of Meeting held on Monday 2 June, 2008 at 18 St Stephens Terrace

Bins/Rubbish collection

Jason Prentis was welcomed to the meeting.

Question of underground bins was discussed. Some have been installed on estates, with success. Jason indicated that Albert Square would not be a suitable place; already enough going on underground for utilities in the area; cost would be high and residents would need to fund them. Jason was asked to re-consider; would a feasibility study be possible.

Jason will investigate the following:

• Replacement bins
• Letters to residents outlining waste disposal options
• Frequency of current collection from Eurobins
• Other Council workers (street cleaners etc) using bins inappropriately.

Jason left the meeting at this stage; he was thanked for coming along and talking to us.
