Maintaining the clean community . . .
|
| Melville Street by Derek Harper |
As this shot of Melville Street shows, local residents are passionate about ensuring their Streets are
kept clean and tidy. However, whilst living at the sea side is a great pleasure it also means sea birds soon
find any rubbish that isn't properly secured in special animal proof rubbish sacks or left outside in dustbins that
have a lid. The gulls can easily tear thin materials such as plastic bin liners with their
beaks allowing waste and other rubbish to cause a filthy mess. This picture below was taken by an angry resident
last Christmas after sea gulls had attacked a bin liner abandoned near the litter bin at Melville Lane car park.
Scenes like this can be avoided altogether if everyone makes
sure they respect local areas and get hold of a proper sack or bin for all their rubbish.
ROTH provides
information around our Community to make sure new people to the area can get hold of a free animal proof sack for their
rubbish to avoid scenes like this.
If you live in Torbay and want to help keep your Community clean and tidy you
can order a sea gull proof sack free of charge from Torbay Council on 01803 207205
