Pawz the Dog can smell "food" at 300 metres and has a habit of disappearing on walks through Avenham Park.. This explains the following email to the Council
Could you please arrange to deal with this question through the agenda of the next Central Area Forum.
Back in September I raised with the Environmental Health Department (with email copies to local councillors) the issue of the disgusting state and vermin risk of the bin store in Avenham park which serves the cafe in the Pavilion. Black bin bags full of food waste are often strewn anywhere about the area as the bins and or clearance regimes are obviously not adequate for the amount of waste produced. I have also raised the issue several times with park staff and with cafe staff. I have also now emailed three times oficers in environmental health. Apart from one email acknowledgement and promise to investigate from them, it is apparent no action has been takenand the problem remains as bad as ever. My question is this. Why has the council, now they are well aware of the problem not managed, to resolve it? Why can they not do the obvious thing which is to install an additional large bin, and / or increase the frequency of collections sending an invoice to the cafe as it is their business that generates this excessive waste?
If I get a reply I will post it on the blog
