We have asked the county council's environment team to arrange a clean up of the grassed strip running the length of East Street, Blackhall Colliery.
There have been abnormally large accumulations of litter and debris in this area recently caused mainly by a combination of very high winds coinciding with waste collection rounds for two consecutive weeks.
This area suffers more than most from litter because the trees and fencing, which separate the grassed strip from the railway lines, tend to catch debris as it blows eastward from the adjacent streets. Because of this we will try to ensure that this area is given more attention, especially after bin collection rounds each Friday.
If you know of any other particularly problematic areas in our ward please contact us and we'll do whatever we can to find a solution.
