'You can't blame residents for unemptied bins'

COUNCILLOR TAKES SWIPE AT TOWN HALL

AN angry councillor has slammed Conwy County Council after the authority blamed residents for overfilling public bins at Christmas.

Earlier this week, residents and councillors complained after bins across Llandudno were left unemptied over the festive period, causing some people to leave bags on top of or around containers.

Bins on Augusta Street, Oxford Road, The Oval, Conway Road, and Vaughan Street were among those piled high with overflowing rubbish, with bags left on the pavement when there was no room.

This led to Cllr Louise Emery branding the mess "a health hazard".
