How often do people use public bins anyway? If I'm somewhere with litter and can't find one I'll just keep the wrapper or whatever on me. I don't get the flytipping thing at all. Are there people really using public bins to dispose of lots of rubbish?

Bins in parks and places like that I can understand, but how many bins are needed in our streets?

Actually, maybe not. The council has voted to stop cutting grass verges and areas of 'green space' throughout the city, so it will become tangled up in the weeds and long grass..

The thought of visitors to Cardiff commenting on how litter-strewn and dirty our city has become should make the Council hold their collective heads in shame. They should be showcasing the city, starting by prioritising a major clean-up of the city centre and keeping it clean.

Meant as a separate reply , not as a response to Taunton's comment.

Nah it wont - the current lot (I think Cardiff has been Labour ever since I can remember) they are too busy creating traffic chaos and increasing air pollution to worry about what visitors to Cardiff think.

Hugh Thomas Leader of the Labour Council and an Oxford graduate - a brainy socialist ? - you would think he would be able to do better....sadly his degree was in music - so he might be able to play you a song - if you ask him nicely.

On a serious note the state of the city centre and Queen st is pretty horrible, I wander out when Im in the office in my lunch break - not a nice place to any more - on a par with Swansea city centre

My grandson, who was 15 at the time asked why was there always so much litter around and why was the city centre so very dirty. He lives in Malvern but loves Cardiff and he couldn't understand why as a capital city nothing ever seemed to be done to spruce the place up. Couldn't agree with him more.

They’re already doing it. Most of the rubbish is fly-tipped in Grangetown. Clean as a whistle around the BBC Wales monolith though. Having said that. Nabbed a lovely pair of wooden chairs the other day and an ottoman just before Christmas. Full of Frankincense too. Must have been dumped by someone from Lakside.

Oi posh boy where do you live again ? in Cowbridge wasnt it ? - the Toriest of Tory areas. Surrounded by all that Tory filth you proclaim to hate.
It must be easy living over there in posh lands of the vale of Glamorgan, you are probably over at the golf club as you read this. You are one of those pretend Labour socialist working class heroes on the outside yet mix with the posh boys down the vale golf club on the inside who you do your painting and decorating for....
