• Jim Takes Up Milnbank Road Bin Damage Complaint

    January 28, 2010

    Local SNP Councillor Jim Barrie is pleased to announce that the burnt out paper bin within the Neighbourhood Recycling Point at the junction of Bankmill Road and Milnbank Road will be replaced very shortly.

    Councillor Barrie said “The standard policy to replace the bin for a second time will continue, but if further incidents occur the result will be the removal of the paper bin from the unit. ”

    “I would urge members of the public to report any incidents of vandalism, as this facility is well used and very popular with local residents”  “It is a shame that a minority of the public feel it necessary to deprive their fellow residents of a handy place to dispose of their papers.  It is also very costly to the Council and the ratepayers as well”

    “Recycling is now becoming very popular with the public in Dundee, it  helps the environment, saves money, and is a useful contribution for making the city meet challenges that have to be tackled for the future” ended Cllr. Barrie.
