I agree.

I regularly pick up the rubbish outside my house from children passing on their way to school and also passing cars! I live on a corner and this seems a magnet to litter droppers.

Also there's no bins around, and when I have asked the council to install some they reply that no one wants them outside their houses. I can think of a couple of local houses who should be made to have bins looking at the amount of litter outside their doorsteps.

Have to say though, that when it's really bad and I ring the council they are pretty quick to remove the rubbish.

They used to fix bins to lamposts years ago but I can understand why some people would not want them outside their houses or on lamposts for that matter because kids would set them alight especially around bonfire night. It was a fairly regular occurance in town in the evenings at one time both for bins and post boxes until the CCTV camera came into operation.

There are plenty of bins in the town centre area but none in the side streets. The community police confiscated cans of alcohol from some youths who were clearly drunk and causing a bit of bother one evening and dispersed them. They emptied the cans down the drain but had nowhere to put the cans, they were stacking them on a nearby wall in order to persue the youths to check no doubt that they were not casuing trouble elesewhere. I took them from them and put them in my own bin.
