Subject: Wheely bins

I'm very concerned about the proposed introduction of wheely bins throughout Abertillery. Firstly, the pavements in the majority of the town are quite narrow. This would mean that mums with pushchairs would put their lives and the lives of their children in danger as the wheely bins, being of considerable size, would almost completely obstruct the pavement, causing them to have to walk for extended distances on the road. Although some speed calming measures have been put in place, there are more roads that don't have these than do have them. For myself, I would face the same dangers as the mums with pushchairs, as my guide dog would have to lead me in the road for extended distances.

has the Council really thought this wheely bin idea through? the number of properties in Abertillery where wheely bins can be stored is exceedingly low. A very high number of houses have steps, and those that are on pavement level don't necessarily have anywhere to keep the wheely bins.

So, is Abertillery going to turn in to a wheely bin park? Is the next step going to be banning all traffic from the roads so that we have somewhere safe to walk?
