Bin Missin'

At the cauldron that is local government the Gorse Fox was again embroiled in the white hot debate regarding dog bins.

It appears that a dog bin has been sited near an entrance to the beach. It was carefully sited to ensure it could be seen by dog walkers; it could not be seen from nearby houses; and it did not impact access for maintenance to the fence of nearby houses.

In addition it was placed to stop people cutting across a corner rather than using a designated path.

Within a day or two a neighbour had moved it because it cut off the corner, a few days later it had been knocked over, it has subsequently disappeared.

Who'd have believed life could be so interesting? Who'd have believed there a market for stolen dog bins? Should the council put RFID tags on the bins?
