Litter Bin Review

Date: Aug 20, 2019

I like the green best it looks better for a rural area.

Should get ECO recycled Hooded Top Litter Bins.

Date: Aug 21, 2019

These bins are made from recycled plastic.

The green but without the ash tray on the top- very messy and not really relevant in 2019.

Date: Aug 21, 2019

Black as a first choice and then the green as they are more likely blend in.

Date: Aug 22, 2019

Green please

Date: Aug 22, 2019

Green.Blends in with surroundings

Date: Aug 24, 2019

I think the red. They look different and unique... classy like spooner row 😊👍

Green gets my vote and without the top ash tray please.

Don't like the ashtray version

Date: Sep 1, 2019

I would like to suggest black.

Date: Sep 2, 2019

I think I also prefer black as it both looks nice and blends in against most backgrounds. The green appears too light and may look more scruffy over time if becoming stained from use.

I think black will look more scruffy over time and stained than the green. Black shows up more marks than other colours. Green will blend in better around here, the red best suits urban areas.

I prefer the black

Date: Sep 4, 2019

i think the parish council should vote and decide on it.

Date: Sep 5, 2019

The black look most likely to age well and most in keeping with the village.

Go Green. Far more upmarket and sends good image that people automatically relate to about environmental concerns (important in Spooner Row).

What was the point of this discussion when black was decided as the colour for the new bins at the council meeting hled just two days after it was posted on here by counciller Foster? By that time 4 of the replies had opted for green and only one for black by Councillor Ward. The decision had already been made.

Thank you to the Anonymous poster for pointing out that the Community Council had reached its decision on the new waste bins. The bins will be black.

Thank you to those residents that replied and not just to this thread but also the original thread from 22^nd July.

Yet more pseudo-consultation for Councillors to pretend they are listening to residents. What is the point in offering views if the decision has already been made and the few views are completely ignored? The bins are a small issue but are indicative of a much bigger one.

Dear ANON

genuinely thank you for your comment about pseudo consultation . The point you have made has been noted and obviously we need to give more time for replies to come in before we make a decision if we ask a question.

Sadly, questions that are asked get no or very little response and before you say it , we do not all live on our smart phones or computers or even have them so we need to be very selective about what is asked and how often.

Please be rest assured the bigger issues as they arise will be given plenty of time for consultation in future but equally be prepared please to accept that sometimes your view will be noted but not necessarily complied with, as that decision rests ultimately with the councillors.

Public attending council meetings are given almost always an opportunity to comment upon any item under consideration. This is not the norm and at the Chair's discretion to permit but so far this has not been an issue
