“In early 2023 we received complaints about trade and household waste being left on the pavement in Cartway on non-collection days, obstructing the pavement, blocking access and causing environmental concerns.“Since then Shropshire Council officers have visited the location on numerous occasions and spoken to the commercial outlets and residents responsible – with letters also sent. Waste Management companies have also approached perpetrators as to their responsibilities.
“A letter was sent to local residents and businesses last month reminding people of the council’s waste collection policy and asking them not to leave black bag waste on the pavement on non collection days as it is a hazard for pedestrians and vehicles, is unsightly, can cause litter and may attract vermin.
