Questions for Lee Haworth - Environmental Health - Page 2

Think I was under a misunderstanding, about contacting you direct with complaints, but that's how I  had read it.

I was glad of this option, as previous emails to EH & Dirtbusters had prompted no response.

Hopefully now, with the council's tougher policy things will gradually improve, but as you say, it will take time, and we appreciate that.

Now that you have read the column, and know about about the incidents at the back of Exchange St, hopefully something will be done. Although one thing does puzzle me, If EH didn't know, how come the original mess was placed back into the offenders yard ???

Think a litter fairy must be doing the rounds in Springhill eh Cazzer! ???

The rubbish  problem mentioned above  is now in the process of being dealt with.

Lee Haworth · 14-08-2003, 13:46

We certainly didn't put the mess in the offender's back yard, and Cleansg Dept shoudn't have done that. A puzzle I think!
We would gather evidence, then remove the waste, and in some cases charge the owner, or alternatively a fine or a formal warning.

WEIRD!!  ???

;D ;D

Extremely odd! Can't understand why someone would put rubbish out, take it back inside his yard, then put another lot of rubbish out, worse than the first! something doesn't add up here. I'm confused ??? ???

Somebody must have done it! I'd love to know who [smiley=idunno.gif]

Hi Lee

I was wondering if there is any chance of another rubbish amnesty in Springhill in the near future?

Possibly in conjunction with leaflet drops, to explain to householders what they must do or not do, and the consequences if rules were not adhered to.

I for one would volunteer to deliver them!!

Bordercollie · 17-08-2003, 12:14

Good idea, i would deliver them also.  :

Lee Haworth · 18-08-2003, 15:39

OK I'll support that. Whoever organised the last one should be contacted. I wasn't involved. If anyone knows who organised it, I'll be happy to get involved or contact the organiser.
I'll make some enquiries at the Council anyway.

Think it might have had something to do with Springhill Network Group. There's a meeting on Wednesday night, so I'll bring the subject up. Thanks.

Nobody around this area takes a blind bit of notice of leaflets
just look at the back of india street

Yes, but if a leaflet was delivered to every single household, there would be no excuse for not knowing what the rules were.

People can always pretend they don't read the papers or whatever, and plead ignorance, but they can't deny the fact that they have had the information delivered through their letter box.

Bordercollie · 18-08-2003, 21:45

All people tend to say is that they thought it was junk mail ( which everybody gets alot of)

so they threw it away, ignorance is bliss is'nt it ?
So perhaps leaflets is'nt the answer? Any other suggestions ???

Caz · 18-08-2003, 21:53

Shouldn't ignore anything with a council logo on  though. Or maybe they should be in envelopes. There isn't really any other way is there?

Caz · 18-08-2003, 22:00

Just heard from the Network Group that they are trying to get a pamphlet together for the area, which would include useful information, tel nos, Warden Scheme etc. Could be incorporated into that. We've got to get through to these people somehow!
