Regarding recycling boxes, I thought there was a global shortage of recycling boxes.

Thanks for joining in :)

Tesco Trolleys
In my experience the supermarkets aren’t too quick to respond to these problems!
I had to bother Asda every day for a week ot get them to collect from outside my old property :(

Interestingly enough, there’s an article here about a similar problem in South Wales where the residents organised a petition and Cardiff Council got involved.
The last paragraph of the article says:
A spokesman for Tesco said: "We are committed to being a good neighbour and we will organise for trolleys to be collected as soon as we are able. We do share the frustration of residents that a minority of people are taking private property away from the store only to end up dumping the trolleys in all sorts of places which can pose other issues as well creating an eyesore and inconveniencing all those involved in their retrieval."

If you’re coming to the Residents Association meeting on Friday, it would be the ideal place to bring it up; maybe we could either do the same or ask Quedgeley Parish Council for some help.

Green Recycling Boxes
Funny – they’d run out when we first moved here too!
I thought I’d posted the number to ring for these but can’t find it now :roll:
