LETTER: Wheelie bins lower standards

I agree with Lord Porter regarding wheelie bins.

We do not want them, stick to plastic bags, so much more convenient and clean.

Being caravaners and travelling around the country going through some lovely quaint English villages, what spoils the view is ugly great big dirty wheelie bins outside people’s properties, blocking footpaths.

Please council don’t go down that road! Say no to wheelie bins – they lower the standard!

The expense of providing wheelie bins is something the council should also think about.
