People living in flats in Whitehawk have either not received their food waste caddies or in some cases have received the larger bins meant for houses.<\/p>\n
Brighton and Hove City Council\u2019s food waste collections for communal bins and the area that includes Whitehawk started on Monday 9 March, with kitchen caddies delivered the week before.<\/p>\n
But at a council housing management panel meeting, resident representatives raised concerns about the process.<\/p>\n
At Kite Place, in Findon Road, kitchen caddies were left outside the building. A resident brought them into the hallway but they were left stacked up by a front door.<\/p>\n
A Kite Place resident who gave her name as Kate said: \u201cThere are no posters, no correspondence. No one knows what to do and when they\u2019re going to be active.<\/p>\n
At Robert Lodge, in Manor Way, residents received the larger orange-topped bins for houses even though they have a communal food waste bin outside the building.<\/p>\n
At the meeting, on Wednesday 11 March, residents were assured that the estates management team would pick up the uncollected boxes and return them to the food waste team.<\/p>\n
Labour councillor Tim Rowkins, the council\u2019s cabinet member for net zero and environmental services, said: \u201cOur food waste roll-out has been a huge success so far.<\/p>\n
\u201cParticipation has been above what was expected, collections have been reliable and the feedback we have received from residents has been overwhelmingly positive.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs with any roll-out of a new service of this scale, there may have been a small number of errors made by our distribution contractor in terms of delivering the right caddies to the right properties.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will, of course, take this up with our contractor and make sure all residents have the correct caddies.\u201d<\/p>\n
