Sir – The advent of wheelie bins has already caused widespread blight all over Oxford. This situation is now to be compounded with yet another bin to take garden waste.
The perfectly practical, easy-to-use hessian bag can at least be stowed away in a small space in its fairly infrequent outings, whereas a bin only adds to the already cluttered and over-congested pavements.
Bins are not only an eyesore, but a hazard for people with buggies, those in wheelchairs and for the blind.
Surely it makes no sense at all to add yet another unsightly impediment?
