Bins to return to Doncaster party street after football vandalism
The litter bins were removed after football related vandalism
Litter bins are to be returned to Doncaster’s rubbish strewn party street - after they were removed due to football related vandalism.
A City of Doncaster councillor has confirmed the bins will return after complaints from local businesses.
Town Ward Labour councillor Rob Dennis said: “There's 'bin' no public bins on Silver Street for a few years now.
“They were removed after a football tournament due to an incident of a bin being vandalised.
“A couple of business - not eateries - down Silver Street spoke to me about this and stated that rubbish was more after the bins were removed.
“I experienced this on Spring Bank Holiday Monday, when there was no Council Street Scene cover to do the regular street cleanse.
“You can see people do want to put rubbish in bins as waste is piled on commercial bins.
“I'm pleased to say that council officers have agreed to install bins on Silver Street again so that people can dispose of their waste properly.
“I'm meeting officers this week to discuss locations.
“Over August Bank Holiday, Street Scene officers did provide cover and cleansed the city centre.
“I am thankful for the work of Street Scene, however the onus is on us all to ensure our rubbish is disposed of properly, even whilst revelilng in Donny city centre.”
