that's a good idea

Friends,
A very nice morning in the sunshine at Brocco on the Park and a warm welcome from Tiina, with freshly baked warm scones as well.
It occurred to me that what may be happening with people putting rubbish in the bins for Brocco On The Park is that people are coming out of the park laden with rubbish because the park bins are full or not on their route out and on their way back to their cars parked on our streets the first bins they see are of course those for Brocco On The Park.
So, why not have a bin at the bottom of Brocco On The Park in the little 'nook' at the boundary between Brocco On the Park and the park itself?
We have some community money to spend and this might be a good way to use it up.
Regards,
Gordon
PS: The little 'nook' I am referring to was where one of the original entrances to the park was before the roundabout was built and the river diverted - one of the gate pillars is still there, embedded into the wall of Brocco On the Park. The river used to more or less follow the path to the new park entrance and then the pavement at the side of the roundabout.

Dear neighbours
We look forward to welcoming you on Thursday morning at Brocco.
I just wanted to talk about our bin situation… this was a couple of weeks ago and I sent this email to Mike and Jan but they suggested I send to the ecco talk mailing list….
We are having ‘others’ using our bins on a very regular basis and using the wrong ones to make matters worse eg putting a full bin load of general leaking waste into bottle bin twice over the weekend – they also fly tip on top of our bins which is causing a potential vermin hazard. Today’s load was disposable barbecue stuff and food used at the barbecue - so we always know it is not our waste.
We have had two phone calls recently complaining we empty our bottles during the night and early morning – this is definitely *not true* as we would not dare to wake our hotel guests and all our staff are trained to only empty bottles mid morning or mid afternoon/early evening. Perhaps others are using our bottle bins.
I just want the Ecco group to know we are being responsible neighbours but also to be on the look out for others using our bins to deposit rubbish as this can’t continue due to environmental issues.
I thank you for your continued support of us.
Kind regards
Tiina
