Well in response to my previous post at least somebody not a million miles from Accy has decided to take the binmen to task for the rubbish they leave behind
BINMEN could face £60 fines for leaving a village's streets in a mess when they collect residents' rubbish.
Worsthorne Parish Council is threatening to become one of the first parish authorities in the country to invoke its power to issue fixed penalty notices in order to tackle the problem left by refuse collectors.
Tony Lambert, chairman of the parish council, said they were considering the step after residents in Worsthorne were left exasperated at the "mess" the binmen had left in their village.
Complaints included the cardboard recycling bags being left by binmen and the contents being blown over and strewn across the area.
They also claim that paper from the blue recycling bags was left littering the streets after collections.
The fixed penalty notice scheme would involve parish councillors keeping an eye on binmen as they went about their job and taking down the details of anyone causing litter.
