Commercial waste bins are permanently stored on the public pavement at the Zetland Road / Cranbrook Road junction. This is not temporary presentation for collection. The bins obstruct the pavement daily, restrict access at a busy junction, block tactile paving, and force pedestrians into the carriageway. This appears to breach Bristol City Council commercial waste storage rules and highway obstruction legislation. Please investigate and take enforcement action.

    Update: No change since my original report. Commercial bins remain permanently stored on the pavement at this junction, continuing to obstruct pedestrian access. New photos attached. A “No Fly Tipping” sign is present adjacent to the bins, underscoring the ongoing non-compliance.

    This is still an issue as of 4th Jan. A mixture of over 10 bins turning the pavement into a rubbish dump. The smell of urine suggests that the poor state of the area is encouraging other activities.

  • Pavement permanently blocked, piles of rubbish everywhere, reported more than a year ago. Nothing done about it

    There has been some minor rearrangement of the bins, but commercial waste bins remain stored on the pavement outside of collection times. Several bins are still overflowing, with waste on the pavement. Issue not resolved.
