Email to NTBCC with further information regarding the Communal Bin roll-out in the N1 Parking area for off-street developments. It includes removal where necessary of the paper (‘Fibre’) blue-lidded bins such that future paper recycling is contained within the Dry Mixed Recycling (green-lidded) bins.
COMMUNAL BIN REVIEW –– Off street developments – Broughton area
We are continuing the roll out of the communal bin review improving and enhancing recycling facility available to properties in developments. At off street developments, as the ones listed below, bins are stored in bin stores or bin areas and are not on-street. These off street developments are all different and different arrangements will be made to these sites i.e. some of them just required updated stickers, some of them needed a food waste bin or a glass bin and some others needed the paper bin to be changed into mixed recycling. This is to improve and increase the access to recycling facilities for these residents.
We are ensuring the signage on the bins is updated and/or the appropriate number of bins for non-recyclable waste, mixed recycling, glass and food waste are provided to residents at:
Within the next few days, each resident will receive a letter with a guide enclosed which includes the relevant information about the updated service.
Email as received by NTBCC from Scottish Water regarding emergency works on McDonald Road.
“Scottish Water is currently responding to a pump failure at McDonald Road Waste Water Pumping station in Broughton.
Our teams are currently working to resolve the issue and will be installing temporary pumps and generators from Friday night and over the weekend.
A crane is currently being installed in the playground of Broughton Road Primary School and Heras fencing is also being installed around the site.
The generators are planned to be switched on, on Saturday. While we will work to reduce the noise impact of this work, we expect there to be some disruption over the weekend. We are exploring all avenues to reduce this risk.
Letters are being delivered to those nearest and we apologise for the inconvenience caused.
We will update you on Monday once the temporary equipment has been set up.
If you have any questions, please contact norma.alexander@scottishwater.co.uk “
