Lack of street cleaning Canalside Seller St/Russell St

Alongside the canal, to the rear of the Eaton Hotel Beer Garden, there is a 'turning point' (double yellow lines) in front of the Binstore of Colchester House, The Square Chester Development. Bins, large and small and both full and empty belonging to the wide alley of the City Road eateries, are constantly deposited on these yellow lines and the pavement and are left there for, at least, three or four days at a time. The consequence of this inconsiderate action is fourfold: (1) the Colchester House Bin store (large bins) is blocked and cannot be emptied by the Council contractors for the Development from this access point, (an arrangement made especially to accommodate the Council vehicles' inability to deal with the electronic barrier at the other entrance to this bin store, (2) the pavements and gutters cannot be cleaned, (3) the waste material from the restaurants spills over onto the floor, is not cleared up and atttract vermin (H&SA hazard),(4) hinders large vehicles from using the turning point. eg fire appliances (as the weekend before last on three occasions and so causing other small vehicles to be moved ) and in addition is very, very unsightly for both users of the recently developed, good area of the canal side and customers eating food in the adjacent beer garden of the Eaton Hotel (which deals with its waste very appropriately and causes no problems. As a Director of the Development Company, I have telephoned with this complaint recently and hope that this report will result in action, if only street cleaning being carried out and the waste problems for the said eateries being monitored regularly so that compliance with the regulations (and common sense) is achieved and, in turn, results in keeping the area safe, clean and tidy and not like a parking lot in a poor area.

My experience has always been positive when reporting to the council.
This problem has improved but, experience has shown that the bins soon revert to being left out 3 or 4 days and we are back at the beginning again. I did request that the small area be monitored for a while. Our own contractors have kept an eye on the situation after they had cleaned it all up and brushed the gutters.Posted anonymously at 16:28, Mon 17 June 2013

As usual, and with the help of our own employees, checking that the bins have been taken in and if not, then pushing the bins back to the alleyway the problem has been eased. We cannot continue to monitor for much longer as we have to pay people to do it and we believe that the council should continue to monitor to prevent repeat behaviour and the, not unknown, fly-tipping once the public see rubbish piling up. Many thanks for this help.
