About three months ago, your correspondent found a plastic dustbin. Rather than take it to the tip, he decided to put it by the entrance to the woods near Old Leo’s. The bin was an instant success and an instant catastrophe. A success in that people used it. A catastrophe in that people started leaving their bags of doggies’ doo doo in it as well. Your correspondent emptied this charming receptacle on about four occasions, but enough was enough and we have removed the bin. Clearing a bin of about 15 kilos of ordure is an experience your correspondence does not wish to repeat.
We understand that Leeds CC is not prepared to put a bin in the woods because it is too expensive to empty.
