Following last year’s consultation on litter bins, besides the six new ones which have been installed, residents suggested that three were moved. We are happy to say that for two of three this has now happened – relocation from Ridgeway (which was damaged due to being knocked over) to the bench at the junction of Grange Lane/Askham Lane/Ridgeway, the litter bin at the end of the snicket of Askham Grove and Tennent Road has been relocated to the Tennent Road end of Bachelor Hill field (to complement the new one at the other end of the field). Coming soon will be the relocation from the old Green Lane Fish and Chip shop to the benches on Front Street (which sadly get lots of food wrappers left behind). As the old fibreglass bins were showing their age it was agreed to replace these with the new type of bin from Ward Committee funding. On the subject of bins the vandalised bin on Acomb Green has now been repaired – thanks to residents who reported this to us.
