Overflowing waste continues to spoil our lane.

In the past week, I have heard from residents of their upset at seeing the rubbish dumped in the Burgh Lane, which is located at the rear of Hillhead Library. It is a beautiful cobbled lane and the location of bins for various commercial premises.

I have been following up complaints received about the mess in the lane and have asked for council staff to speak to businesses involved to seek improvement.

It is hoped that everyone who has access to the lane for their bin storage will take extra care to keep it tidy. Ideally, businesses would be able to organise bin storage in a secure area away from the lane.  Flytipping problems are being cleared up by the council staff.
