Commercial bins consultation on the city’s roads, paths and pavements now open
The council receives a lot of complaints and comments about commercial bins on the city’s roads and pavements. Including where they are, their condition and the amount of them.
Despite trying to resolve these issues, people still have concerns about the cleanliness and attractiveness of the city to residents, shoppers and visitors. It's also causing problems for physical distancing.
COVID-19 has had a significant effect on businesses across Brighton & Hove. BHCC want to do everything they can to support businesses as they reopen across the city.
So, BHCC want to hear from businesses about solutions and ideas for our proposed model and how they can make improvements together.
They are seeking views on a proposed way to better manage the issue from all sectors of the community, including:
residents
businesses waste
management providers
Local Action Teams
community groups
council teams
other stakeholders across Brighton & Hove
BHCC will consider the outcome of the consultation, including your feedback. They will present a final approach to a future meeting of the council’s Environment, Transport and Sustainability Committee.
Any new approach to commercial bins in the city will be brought in gradually. This is to make sure businesses and waste providers have enough support and time to prepare themselves for any changes. For the purpose of this consultation, the use of ‘highways’ and ‘public highways’ relates to roads, paths and pavements.
Consultation Closes 24 Nov 2020 Contact satti.sidhu@brighton-hove.gov.uk for more information
