Bins and a box in Bughties Road

A couple of issues in Bughties Road have been raised with me by residents. The first is the lack of dog bins. There was previously one at either end of the street, attached to lampposts, but these were removed when the unadopted pavement on one side of the street was brought up to standard and new street lighting put in. I took the matter up with the council’s environment department and I have since been advised that the intention is to put the bins back roughly where they were before, but they will be attached to their own poles rather than lampposts.
 
The second issue is the Royal Mail pouch box which has been pushed over and is sitting at a jaunty angle. I contacted the council’s roads network team about it who very kindly reported it to Royal Mail requesting it to be removed if it is no longer needed and repaired if it is still in use.
