After several years of having their wheelie bins collected from their back doors ,residents of some terraced houses in Newton Aycliffe in Co Durham will now have to trundle their bins up to 80 yards to the end of an alley to the rear of their houses :
The reason ? You guessed it, someone has done a " risk assessment " and concluded that the binmen may suffer "musculoskeletal " injury. As one of the residents( many of whom are pensioners ) puts it "what next,loading them on the wagon??" The other alternative is to run the bins through their houses to the front door which may leave them with fines for blocking the pavement ??? Before the wheelie bins these same binmen would probably have carried the old steel bins on their shoulders :
What next for Elf n Safety? >
