LITTER/DOG BINS
From April 2012 although Northumberland County Council will continue to empty these, the responsibility for maintenance and replacement will come to your Council. If any more are needed or if any fall into disrepair or are vandalised, whether to erect, repair or replace them will be Amble Town Council’s decision.
N.C.C. has said no further Dog bins will be allowed- dog waste can be put into a litter bin (or your domestic landfill waste bin), therefore any replacement or additional bin will be one of these. As N.C.C. is quoting £400 to supply and fix each bin, we are currently looking at alternative suppliers.
After we assume responsibility we may relocate some litter/ dogs bins as we review their position and/or proximity to each other.
