POLL: Are you in favour of fortnightly bin collections and wheelie bins being introduced in Tendring

Waste bosses have launched a consultation over plans to introduce wheelie bins and move to fortnightly bin collections in Tendring.

Tendring Council is looking at moving from weekly to fortnightly bin collections for non-recyclable waste as part of its new recycling contract in 2019.

Environment boss Michael Talbot has now formally proposed the move in a bid to keep down costs.

It would have cost the council at least £400,000 on top of what it currently pays just to renew its waste collection contract with Veolia.

The move has upset some residents, who claim the bins look "unsightly".
