Litter issues in Grangetown

At a recent residents' meeting, there were complaints regarding litter in Stafford Road (Wedmore Road end), Compton Street and Sussex Street. Residents told me that the Council has been very active, but that some residents keep on fly-tipping and littering in the area.

I asked the Council to send an education officer to talk to residents in the area explaining the services the Council provides, such as bulk collections, also food waste and recycling. I have also requested bins to be provided by the Neville Pub on Cornwall Street and the top end of Stafford Road. In reference to this, I received assurance that the bins will be installed as soon as they are delivered by the manufacturer.

I was told by the Council that the Education Team would visit the area and distribute waste education packs that will include information on all the services on offer and how to use them as well as the Household Waste Recycling Centres and Bulky Item Collection information.

The Team will also door-knock all the streets in the section north of Cornwall Street. If the residents are not available the pack will be posted through the letter box.
