Solved: the mystery of the vanishing litter bin
Published Date:

A GLOSSOP councillor has been reassured that a disappearing litter bin in Tintwistle will be replaced.
Cllr Dave Wilcox, a member of Derbyshire County Council, contacted High Peak Borough Council over litter overflowing from the bin at Sexton Street Recreation Ground.
Days after, he discovered that not only had the rubbish disappeared - but the bin along with it!
"At first I thought this was a new form of efficiency saving. It was a neat way of ensuring there would be no more problems with an overflowing litter bin.
"I now understand that it had been the borough council's intention to replace the old bin immediately, but that the new bin necessitated the preparation of a concrete base, which given the weather at the time would not have met the bill."
