ENVIRONMENT, TRANSPORT & SUSTAINABILITY COMMITTEE 21 September 2021

Agenda Item 31(b) Brighton & Hove City Council

WRITTEN QUESTIONS

A period of not more than fifteen minutes shall be allowed at each ordinary meeting for questions submitted by a member of the public.

The question will be answered without discussion. The person who asked the question may ask one relevant supplementary question, which shall be put and answered without discussion. The person to whom a question, or supplementary question, has been put may decline to answer it. 

The following written questions have been received from members of the public:

(6) Communal Bins – Dinah Clarke

If residents taking part in the waste management consultation in Brighton, reject communal bins, or the street does not  have suitable places for communal bins,  what other ways are you considering that will ensure that our pavements are kept free of wheelie bins and recycling bins/boxes? Has the council considered issuing these residents with hard-wearing sacks for rubbish and recycling, like the ones residents in Lewes use and that are easily stored indoors between collections?

(7) Bins at Ovingdean Beach Cafe – Deborah Smith

This summer I have worked at the lovely cafe on the undercliff at Ovingdean.

Time and time again the 2 small bins there have overflowed - and people have asked why there aren’t any recycling bins there either.

Councillor Fishleigh told me she has requested more general waste and recycling bins there on numerous occasions.

Please can you let me know why the bins were removed and what’s the problem with replacing them?
