> Hi there, I’m writing regarding an issue with the bin collection at 206 Springfield Road today. While I can see the funny side of it, the collection team used our yellow bins to block the driveway after emptying them, which restricted access to the property. My main concern is that this could become a safety issue, particularly if emergency access was ever required. Could you please speak with the team involved and ask that the bins are left in a suitable position that doesn’t obstruct the drive
