ePetition - Removal of household bins in Auckland Drive

Residents were notified in October 2025 about plans to remove current household bins and replace with communal bins in 2 locations along Auckland Drive. Residents raised complaints detailing their concerns to the refuse collection suppliers and to local councillors, with no reply. The suppliers have since contacted residents again to give notice that their scheme will commence in January 2026.
Residence have raised concerns including (but not an exhaustive list):
Health and Safety of residents, including elderly, those with limited mobility, those with young children especially single parent households unable to walk half way down the road and back to dispose of their rubbish and recycling.
Risk of increased vermin in the area.
Increased risk of fly tipping in the area
Loss of parking bays in an area already struggling with parking, especially with the increased vehicles from the increasing number of HMO's and university students using the site on the industrial site
Effect on house values
Potential for this scheme to be rolled out across the estate resulting in further pressure on parking, fly tipping and vermin
So far the council have not listened to the valid concerns of residents

This ePetition runs from 18/12/2025 to 28/01/2026.
