Clearing up the community
Success after months of appointment making, phone calls home visits from environmental health
a bin has finally been placed at a notorious waste black spot .
Community reporters Rachel Benham and Barry Chapman met with Ian Barnett from Great Yarmouth Borough Services on Wednesday 9th Feb 2011.
Mr Barnette was extremely helpful in taking us around sites in Great Yarmouth to show us how
regeneration and cleaning up the towns image is currently taking place and from what we have
seen the council despite previous doubts are working really hard to give the town a good clean
image.
Community reporters were taken on a tour to see how developments in the town were coming
along.
An area of concern is the Broad row bag round which has caused some problems. The current bag
round is considered an environmental hazard and leaves room for pests to migrate onto and prowl
the area causing health risks.
It is feared with government cuts bin rounds would be cut and people would be unable to dispose of
household waste only every fortnight and we already have the problem of one bin man doing a job that normally takes three men to collect. This is clearly asking for trouble and creating environmental
problems particularly in the summer months with the heat.
It is hoped that people in the community will see that the local council are doing there best
in working together to keep the town a good clean and environmentally safe place not only to
live but a holiday haven which brings visitors back every year.
