Despite Paul emailing the council and confessing it was his mistake, the duo hasn’t heard back. Talk about frustrating! Justin, 52, says the stress has been so overwhelming it’s landed him in hospital. 💔

Paul, facing a £100 fine himself after an Amazon box with his name was found, said he paid quickly to avoid hassle. “The bins are always overflowing; it’s madness!” says Paul. 😤

The pair are pleading for the council to tackle the rubbish overflow near Coulter House, hoping to prevent more unfair fines. Justin adds, “Why don’t they listen? It’s put me in hospital. I can’t afford a £500 fine, my bank’s in the red!”

Here’s hoping this mess gets sorted soon! 🤞💬
