BLOCKING BINS ARE A HAZARD

I HAVE no problem with The Scribbler’s comments on the in collection service (‘Don’t knock it – service has bin second to none’, July 1).

Where I do take issue is on the ‘after service’ when bins are left on the road or blocking pavements.

H&S would shudder at the potential trip hazards to blind/ partially sighted people and parents with pushchairs having to step out into the road to avoid the empties. ANDREW PETTIGREW Grane Road

WHAT you’ve been saying on our Facebook page:

●●BORIS Johnson says there’s ‘no point’ giving workers a pay rise (June 28):

Wayne Anthony O’Brien: Be lucky if people can afford to get to work with rising cost of petrol and diesel

Lauren Blakey: Everything else goes up in price but won’t put wages up, yeah because that makes sense

Paul Lysons: MPs just had a big pay rise.

What the hell, this country is heading for total disaster.

Ross Endale: Riots coming soon.

Julie Marie: Yet working class people still vote for him! Why?!?

Jack Eastwood: And we’re all suddenly shocked... He has to go.

It’s pretty basic knowledge that if no-one has money to spend, the economy will shrink.

It’s all about massive quick profits for the Tories.

Always has been.

Don’t know how folk expect anything different.
