Two weeks ago, residents on Wood Land and Alma Road told us that there was a lot of mess and rubbish around the recycling bins outside the Headingley Taps pub. We raised this with the council, and today they reported back that the mess has been cleaned, and measures put in place to ensure that regular cleaning now happens whenever the bins are emptied. Great news!

On the same evening, residents also raised concerns about the entrance to the Lupton student residences, where students often leave litter on the pavement while waiting for taxis, because there is no proper bin to put it in. We’re pleased to report that the management of the halls have now agreed to install a new bin at this location. The bin itself is yet to appear, though. We will be checking back regularly until it does!
