Haringey Liberal Democrats launched their wheelie bin fact sheet this week following numerous queries, concerns and comments from local residents who claimed that the council had not supplied adequate information on the new bins.

The two page fact sheet, put together by Cllr. Lynne Featherstone and Liberal Democrat Environment spokesperson Cllr. Bob Hare, is being sent to all residents who wrote to the Liberal Democrats regarding this issue. It is also available on request by ringing (020) 8340 5459 as well as online. It contains information regarding bin size and how to change your bin, how to get an ‘assisted collection’ as well as how to appeal against having a wheelie bin.

Cllr. Hare commented:

“I think that we have put together a very useful piece of public information. I hope that the residents of Haringey who felt badly informed over the new bins now feel that they have the relevant information to raise any issues with Haringey Council and Haringey Accord.”

Cllr. Featherstone added:

“It is sad that the opposition has to provide information because the council has failed to supply adequate information to the residents. However I am pleased that this fact sheet will end a lot of worry and misery for local residents concerned by the new bins.”
