Reported in the Hounslow Chronical :- Hounslow Council is to roll out another 35,000 wheelie bins to homes across the borough. The bins, once installed at a cost of £850,000, will mean every household other than those in high-rise properties will have one. Cllr John Todd said "what's required is not wheelie bins but a campaign of education and if necessary enforcement for those residents who fail to recycle." A council survey suggested the bins were supported by 94% of those involved in the pilot scheme, but they have proved unpopular in some areas, particularly in the east of the borough. A total of 270 people have signed a petition calling on the council to scrap the bins. Which petition was that? |
