14 August - Pop up recycling. Not such a daft idea after all
Despite the
usual Social Media suspects who immediately condemned Peter Craske’s idea for temporary
white bin dump facilities in Welling and Belvedere announced only yesterday afternoon it was proving to be very popular at
09:30 this morning. No significant queues but a constant stream of vehicles and local residents making good use of the wheels on their bins.
The popular view was that the new Saturday only facility was not exactly ideal but it is far better than nothing.
No Councillors to be seen, all in Welling apparently.
After an hour long walk up and down the hill I returned to find a neighbour
emptying his bin into a black sack to take to Nuxley Road by car. The news appears to have spread far and wide and welcomed.
Typical Twitter comment.
