The wheelie bins are an excellent idea if only they could be emptied regularly.

Since the scheme began in our area (Portslade Village), not once has the bin been emptied on the correct day, Monday, and sometimes not until Thursday.

We are not young and every day we have to trundle the bin from the back of the house to the street and back again in the evening.

If the bin is left out, the local lads think it is a great game to push them down the road.

If the wheelie bins take longer to empty - and I think they do - let's

go back to the old dustbins, which stayed put.
