Dog Mess in Bags Where Bins Used to Be Worries Calderdale Councillor
Senior councillors know they need to talk more. People need to know what is going on, and they admitted the communication needs work. It hasn’t been the best, it seems.
Amanda Parsons-Hulse asked about it. She’s a councillor from Warley in Halifax. She brought it up at a council meeting. It was a question for the Cabinet.
She said they didn’t know about bins disappearing. This went on for a year and a half. Park bins vanished mysteriously, it sounds like. People sent tons of messages, asking about the missing bins.
Now, lots of bagged dog poop piles up where the bins used to sit. It took eighteen months to get answers. She wants residents to know the plan and when they will tell folks what is happening.
Danielle Durrans is in charge of public services. She agreed communication needs improving. The council posted on social media at first. They asked where to put better bins.
The review is now done, according to Durrans. She just talked to the green spaces team. Larger bins are already appearing, and more areas will get them soon.
These new bins should help, and the council will manage them better. This uses resources more effectively. Durrans said she would pass on feedback too about their communication.
