Hi
We have chatted with Tiina and we are persuaded that it's not Brocco staff
putting bottles in the bins during the night. It seems much more likely that
it's Veolia collecting the bottles from the bins at that time.
Regards
Mike and Jan

Hi - it sounds like it was a very pleasant visit to Brocco on the Park.
An extra bin(s) in and near the park is a good idea if they are going to get
emptied. Reading Tina's email she seems to have been very keen to ensure that
we understand it is not her fault. I wonder what she is doing to address her
concerns.
With regard to the bottles, it is our experience that glass bottles are emptied
into the bins outside of the hours that Tina has set out out. An example was
this morning - I heard it and looked at my watch and it was 5.55am. It also
sounded like someone was moving the wheeled bin. As and when I next notice this
I will make a note and try and pop out and see what's happening - it might be
worth others who live near to Brooco on the Park to doing same so that we can
try and find out what is happening, when and how often.

Good idea, Gordon. Perhaps this is something we can discuss at the next Ecco
meeting.

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

Hi all
Our ECCO Coffee Morning is due this coming Thursday 13th July. Does anyone
have a preference where we should have it?
