LBHF Plastic Recycling Bags are TOO FREELY available
Not only are these bags are delivered to our front door but they are also available free to pick up by anyone, at the library on the Askew Road.As a result, we have residents from over the border in Acton (Davis Road, St Elmo Road, Valetta Road even as far as the Vale who casually stroll in to the library to pick up free bags. They then fill them up and sneakily dump their recycling AND rubbish on our roads for LBHF to pick up. When you live near a boundary, these things happen - like parking. I think it is about time the front desk staff at the library ask for proof of residence i.e. council tax bill or a roll of bags should be charged at £1. Why not? We pay for bags elsewhere now.I am getting increasingly fed up with seeing residents from Acton - some come as far as Acton Vale, dumping their rubbish or better still fly tipping where they choose. Most of the time this is on a street corner or in an alleyway and dustmen only pick up from outside an address. This 'fly tipping'results in piles of rubbish that grow daily and a special truck has to come and take it all away. This is after someone has to call or email the council to report it. Needless to say, this costs time and money.Believe me, I see this on a regular basis and I know who the usual offenders are and they should know better.Why can't people be more responsible? I am tired of our street being used as a dumping ground!
