Darren Friel welcomes the new bin

Residents of Deans Road ­contacted East Park's Lib Dem campaigner, Darren Friel, about the ever increasing amount of litter ­being dropped and gathering in the gardens and driveways of ­the properties ­between Brooklands Parade and Julian Road.

In response to these concerns ­Darren Friel ­arranged for extra ­inspections of the affected area and the eventual ­installation of a new bin at the litter black spot. Darren Friel said, "Litter bins are a visual reminder to the public to be more responsible for the discarding of their waste. Nearby residents were blighted by wind swept litter invading their gardens and driveways with everything from chip papers to crisp packets and drinks cans. Having this litter bin installed along with extra inspections of the area has paid off. There has been a significant improvement on the litter levels in the area and I am very pleased with the overall results."
