Glenda Powell Posted March 8, 2011 Report Posted March 8, 2011 In response to the many calls I have received from Colin James about the litter on the Great Western Way and the fly tipping to the rear of Charles Witts Ave in Hunderton, Colin has suggested a 'Big Clean Up Day' A meeting has been arranged with all Belmont ward councillors, Bethon Fortey Enforcement officer, Community Protection Team officers and estates Managers of Herefordshire Housing Ltd, this meeting will take place on Thursday 17th March to discuss clean up costs of these areas to enable this big cleanup to commence. I will keep you advised of the outcome of the meeting.

But looking forward to a full day where we can all get stuck in!
Liveslocal Posted March 9, 2011 Report Posted March 9, 2011 Isn't it also an education issue? Its the general public who are dropping the litter not the council. There are bins available and which are emptied, but for some people it appears that rubbish is to heavy to carry far as a bin... :Sad_32:

As some of the litter and fly tipping is in the curtilage of Herefordshire Housing land they are equally responsible for clearing it away, hense why they have been invited to the meeting and they will be responsible for some of the cost towards the big clean up.

jane1968 Posted March 13, 2011 Report Posted March 13, 2011 This whole area needs cleaning up. Did we ever get those additional lights that were requested last year? Personally I think that they should turn this into a road to take pressure off the Belmont Road
Glenda Powell Posted March 16, 2011 Author Report Posted March 16, 2011 Just after I became a councillor eight years ago Albert Heinz offered to pay for a tram line to be put onto the GWW Herefordshire council rejected his offer, a very big mistake in my opinion and I said so at the time.

As Colin James has previously suggested, this whole area should be turned into a road to take relief from the Belmont Road. Most people are too frightened to walk along here after the hours of dark, so it is wasted land in my opinion.
