Cleethorpes Douglas Road bins 'not emptied for weeks'
Residents in a part of Cleethorpes say their bins have not been emptied for weeks because refuse lorries cannot access their living in Douglas Road said the issue was because of the number of parked cars making it impossible for lorries to Silkstone said: "It's just over-full. The cars are parked near the corner and the bin lorries can't get round, so the bins don't get emptied."North East Lincolnshire Council said it was thinking of enforcing parking restrictions on a section of the street. Sidney Sussex ward councillor Sophia Farren is supporting residents who want something to be done about the parking said: "We're focusing on this one street."We do need to have some consultative work done in our communities to find out how we can alleviate this parking problem and sort this issue out." Farren said she was concerned the issue was a consequence of overdevelopment and unsuitable properties transforming into houses of multiple occupation (HMOs).Another resident, Robert Palmer, said: "Some of the houses are being turned into HMOs. Where are all the cars going to go? "It's going to get worse unless something is done about it."The council said it had written to residents in December and would be writing to them again regarding the problem of parked vehicles on the corner of Douglas Road and Laurier authority added: "We are currently considering installation of enforceable parking restrictions on this corner to assist, but this will need to go through the legal process in the coming months."In the meantime, we request that residents do not park on the corner of the street on collection days so that we can access the street and collect their waste and recycling."
