In reply to Simon Eaton (Letters, May 3), we in Lansdowne Place had the same problem regarding communal bins.

We eventually discovered certain people were voting against communal bins. It was nothing to do with parking.

Fortunately, a community spirited person organised a petition in favour of communal bins and after two years of struggle we finally acquired them.

The difference this has made to our lives is unimaginable. We suggest Mr Eaton does the same.
