Government wants household bins out of sight

New housing developments in England should include sufficient space to store household bins out of view of the street, the government has said.

Communities Secretary Eric Pickles said the proliferation of wheelie bins had created a “blot on the landscape”.

New planning guidance about bin storage is being published next week.

For starters yes bins don’t add much to the scenery of a street, but is it really necessary for the government to waste it’s time launching a completely unneeded scheme where new housing developments will now need to have an extra place to store bins.


It’s nice to see Mr Pickles has his priorities in order, because I’m sure that if he asked all the councils what are the most pressing issues that need to be dealt with this one would be right up there.
