In late August, a resident on Alma Road told us that students often leave litter outside the entrance to Lupton Residences. They would probably love to be able to put it in a proper bin, but the problem has been that there wasn’t one! This photograph shows the results – wine-bottles, beer-cans and plastic cups lying around the entrance gate:

We raised the issue, and were told that the management of the halls would be installing a bin next to the entrance soon. But it’s been a while! This week, we chased the issue up – and a couple of days later, what do you know? Not one but two new bins are now in pride of place beside the path:

We’re really pleased to have helped sort this issue out. Having proper bins here is better for students and locals.
