The Council has announced a change to the timetable relating to the collection of waste from the streets, the vehicles now beginning at 10:30 at night rather than the current 00:00.
However, the permitted times for putting bags of rubbish out on the street remain from 10:00 to midnight throughout the year, according to the Local Police.
The change is designed to ‘improve the service in all its aspects’, according to the Council. However, with collection beginning at 10:30, just after the start of the permitted period, rather than at 00:00, the end, does that mean that some rubbish could now end up being left on the streets until 10:30 the following night?
