When Brighton and Hove City Council voiced plans to introduce communal road bins in the West Hill area there was a lot of local opposition. But the bins seem to have been a great success and I am unclear why the council chose to use this method to deal with the problem only in certain areas.

The only conclusion I can come to is that it doesn't want to lose revenue from the parking spaces given to kerbside bins.

I have been in contact with the council since February, with regard to the filthy state of Stanford Road, where I live, but there has been no improvement whatsoever and I will not be voting Labour today.
