I must say I agree with your readers’ comments (‘Wheelie bins are unsightly’, Opinion, May 18). We are bluntly told that three wheelie bins will be imposed on every household regardless of our wishes — at a massive unnecessary cost in the present economic climate.

But make no mistake, doing so will steadily degrade every road and inevitably kill pride in our surroundings. Is that really what we want for Enfield?

At present, following the extremely efficient collections, residents immediately take in their present containers — leaving the roads clear and pleasant.

Enfield Council — do please think again.
