This stinks! Residents furious of lack of bin collections

RESIDENTS say they're having to deal with strong smells and maggots on the street because their black bins are not emptied often enough.

Domestic waste is removed from Salford's black bins every three weeks, but people living around Broughton Park said they need more frequent collections.

Some say they have had to pay for private waste companies to clear away rubbish until the council's crews arrive.

The issue has become a major part of a local campaign to create a new parish council in the community, which could give residents more say over issues affecting the area.

A petition to set up a new authority called the 'Town of Broughton Park Council' was handed to Salford council in February, which Kersal and Broughton Park Coun Andrew Walters said at the time was signed by around 1,000 people.
