Residents living in and around the Highmoor Close area off Coppice Farm Way in New Invention had their refuse bins emptied Saturday for the first time in 3 weeks.
The reason for their plight was barriers around on-going roadworks blocking access to the refuse vehicle. Residents asked for help off the Lib Dem Focus Team in Willenhall North after promisses they had been given by “street-pride” failed to materialise.
The result was the bins got emptied. The contractors, who are expected to be in the area for a further 12 weeks, were asked to move their barriers just enough to allow the the bin waggon to get into the roads affected.
“Why this couldn’t have been done in the first place is beyond me” said Lib Dem councillor Ian Shires, “It’s to be hoped that there won’t be repeat of this situation” he said.
“It’s not beyond the whit of man to make sure that when major works are planned by a statutory authority that issues like this can’t be resolved before they happen.”
Ian has contacted Highways Chiefs demanding that systems are put in place to prevent a recurrence.”
