Overflowing bins in Hailey Park are causing quite a stir among local dog walkers! Amidst rising visitor numbers over the Easter holidays, dog waste bins are fewer and far between, leading to a messy situation. Regular park-goer Lee Mason shares his frustration, noting how finding a spot to dispose of dog mess is a genuine struggle, especially during peak times. 🐾
The council insists no bins have been removed but merely repositioned for easier collection access, ensuring vehicles don’t damage park grounds. They’ve also implemented a seven-day collection service to handle the busy periods. But locals remain unconvinced, with some questioning if this is just a cost-cutting measure.
Comments on the issue are pouring in! While some suggest dog owners should take responsibility and bring waste home, others argue that council needs to step up, given we pay council tax for such facilities. Rebecca G voices what many seem to think: “The council really needs to do better. Taking bins away just feels like the easy option rather than fixing the problem.”
Debate is heating up! Should councils provide more bins? Should dog owners be more responsible? What’s your take? 🤔 Let us know in the comments!
