Missed bin collections, 28th March
I'm writing with regards to the bin collections on Alexandria Drive Westhoughton BL5 3HF Our burgundy bin has not been emptied since 26th February and I've been made aware by a neighbour that for some odd reason you have no record that none of the properties on our street have a burgundy bin which is very odd as we had been getting collections up until 26th February and the black, paper and grass bins have been emptied. My concern is, when I now check the "when is my next collection" page on your website there are only 5 properties listed on Alexandria Drive so I'm worried that none of our bins are going to get emptied ever again.
