Will and Shaun have both campaigned for the Student Community Partnership to run an awareness campaign to inform students about the ways they can manage their waste and refuse as it comes to the end of the Academic Year.

We hope that there will be few repeats of front gardens pilled up with rubbish as has happened occasionally in recent years.

We are also checking that the Council has plans to put on extra collection lorries to avoid scenes from last year when the refuse collection failed due to the huge number of bags that were put out. The photo shows Shaun picking up rubbish last summer which had been strewn all over Herbert Road following the Council’s lorries being overwhelmed with the vast amount of moving out waste. (Yet to be added to this story – sorry! Shaun)
