| Comment | I do this regularly too and I rarely notice any change. I also think the recent addition of charges for bulk pick up of rubbish has a lot to answer for. Previously, bulky uplifts were free but they’ve now introduced a fee. I’ve noticed an increase in fly tipping since then. For example, My neighbours are currently renovating and they’ve been dumping rubbish outside in the shared back court. It’s a complete tip but we can’t force them to do anything about it. No one wants to pay the fee so we’re stuck with piles of junk in the back court. I phoned the council and they told me I should pay the fee myself if I was that bothered about it. There’s no sense of accountability from the people who are paid to keep the city clean. |
