Council talks rubbish with residents

A COUNCIL consultation on how to improve waste collection in the city centre World Heritage Site has been extended until January 28.

During the next few weeks, the council will be seeking views from the public through an online survey. There will also be a special roadshow for residents to have a look at some options available.

The council wants to tackle issues such as torn bags, so that waste is better controlled, the area is kept clean and there is a better uptake of recycling.

Councillor Robert Aldridge, environmental leader, said: "This consultation is all about improving the cleanliness and appearance of the city centre, and any solution has to be both practical and deliverable in a cost-effective way.

"I am looking forward to working with residents and hearing suggestions on how this can be achieved."
