The Residents Association met with both Golding Homes’ management alongside TMBC’s waste contracts team to work on long term solutions to the ongoing refuse issues affecting Golding Homes’ properties on both Abery Drive and Eaton Place.

The following improvement commitments have been agreed – 

• At least 3 (and possibly 4) new euro-bins to be provided by TMBC for general refuse, to be located in the bin shed.
• The bike shed to be re-purposed to accommodate recycling bins with new locks fitted.
• All black and green bins currently in the archway to be removed.
• A full jet wash of the bin shed to be completed for H&S reasons.
• Letters to be sent to all Golding Homes residents detailing the changes and also providing advice on recycling / refuse management (what items go in what bins).
• An additional refuse collection to be arranged to clear the current recycling bins (which are full and contaminated with mixed waste).
• A longer term project will also seek to build an additional bin shed for Golding Homes residents to provide additional capacity.

This is a really positive step for our estate.  Let’s continue to work together to see these improvements put into place in the very near future, and let’s keep our estate tidy.
