I have now completed an audit of all litter bins currently situated within the Baildon area these do not include bins situated inside Roberts Park as these are under review as part of the redevelopment project. We currently have 77 litter bins throughout the area most are emptied twice a week depending on usage. We currently have funding for additional bins to try and combat the dog fouling problem and will be sited subject to a site survey at locations where we hope they will be most effective. Funding from the Shipley Area Community Clean up Campaign has been secured to provide three extra bins on Shipley Glen spread out so as to cover as much of the Glen as possible. I will constantly monitor the effectiveness of these bins and if necessary additional bins may be placed at a later date. Once all the new bins are in place The Parish Council is funding stickers that will be placed on each and every bin indicating that dog waste can be deposited here. This will be a first for the Bradford Area and if successful could be rolled out over the whole district.
