Title of Question

Communal Bins Craven Vale

Issue:

Broken and damaged communal bins are not being replaced. 

Background:

There was an Estate Walkabout in Craven Vale area on 13th July 2022. Communal bins that needed replacement/repair in Parham Close were identified. However, these have not yet been replaced or repaired. 

Action requested by residents:

Residents would like to know: What is the Council’s policy on replacement of damaged communal bins? 

Officer Response

Officer contact details:

Hilary Edgar, hilary.edgar@brighton-hove.gov.uk

Officer Response:

We will repair/replace communal bins when needed. Rather than replace on an ad hoc basis we are looking at a programme of replacement for these and other bins of a similar age and condition.  Although, replacement may take longer, this approach will provide better value for money. 

Action:

We will update Area Panels when we have more detailed information on the replacement programme.
