Bin It Hillfields!

ACORN is taking action to improve litter and dog poo in our neighbourhood. Support our campaign for more bins in Hillfields by signing the petition below!
Dear Councillor Ellie King and Councillor Craig Cheney,

We, the undersigned, support the ACORN Hillfields campaign to improve rubbish services in our local area. 

The state of litter and dog poo in Hillfields is unacceptable. It has a real impact on public health and the wellbeing of our local ecosystems and environment. Not only does it look unpleasant, and make it seem as though we don’t care about our neighbourhood, but people are facing tangible consequences. Pets have been injured by choking on chicken bones and children are exposed to sharp and dirty items in the park. The dog poo on the streets is disgusting and unhygienic.

We are therefore asking for:

  • 15 new bins (dog poo and litter) in the Hillfields ward, to be prioritised on roads identified by ACORN Hillfields members
  • 2 larger bins on Lodge Causeway (1 of which may be recycling)
  • More frequent bin collections in the ward, or at least on Lodge Causeway
  • New bins to be "fox proof" where possible

We are happy to set up a meeting between you and a few members of ACORN Hillfields to discuss these demands.

The amount of rubbish currently littering our neighbourhood is a real problem, for both public health and the environmental wellbeing of our local ecosystems. We are proud to live in Hillfields, as we are sure you are too. Our area needs to reflect that local pride.

Yours Sincerely,

ACORN Hillfields, and
