Bin bag build up Black bin bags had been left standing outside many homes in Brookmans Park for more than a week and had started to become as much part of the seasonal scene as the Christmas tree on the village green. Residents had respond to a revised holiday collection schedule by putting their bags out as instructed - but the collections failed to happen.
A spokesperson at Welwyn Hatfield Council said that the snowfall and icy conditions had meant that the workforce had to be diverted to gritting duties and that was why the rubbish had been left on the roadside.
The Council had added two extra Saturday collections to help shift the increase in household rubbish following Christmas and New Year festivities and had earlier qualified its plans by saying that 'every effort would be made to collect on the days stated'.
A normal service is expected to resume from Monday January 8. Anyone with enquiries or problems should ring the Environmental Services Division on 01707
357352 or 01707 357362. According to the council, the Cole Green household waste site off the A414 road from
Hatfield to Hertford is open weekdays from 11:00 to 16.30 and weekends from 09:00 to 16.30
for domestic waste and has a green waste container for unwanted Christmas trees. For enquiries about the tip call 01992 556151.
