Missed bin collections, 28th March

Thu, 28 Mar 2024 09:54:02 +0000
53.548761 -2.505493

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.

Inconsiderate parking outside my back gate!, 11th October

Wed, 11 Oct 2023 12:03:44 +0100
53.518845 -2.504791

Neighbour and his friends are causing me stress as im unable to repair my garden or put my bins out and even use the back gate entrance most times due to his and his mates inconsiderate parking, And respect for others. Left a polite notice on his mates vehicle to please not obstruct and please park better but his mate attempted to throw it back in my yard before the cardboard hitting him in the face. Karma. Its a shared residential alleyway, but the parking, just my gate is being abused. Ive had threats from him/neighbour of smashing my windows after confronting him. But police did nothing. Whats the point. We are polite people but it seems useless in modern society!
