Your local Lib Dem councillors Rhys and Ashley recently met with the new Labour Cabinet Member for waste services to highlight the persistent waste problems in our area.

During the meeting we discussed the actions the council could take to:

🧹 Maintain our rear lanes through regular proactive sweeping, including more CCTV monitoring.

🏪 Stop large commercial waste bins being left on pavements in lanes through proactive outreach with businesses.

🏢 Tackle collection issues from blocks of flats and bin stores

🚮 Increase the frequency of public bins being emptied

It was a productive meeting and we will be following up with the Cabinet Member and council staff on the progress they are making.

📣 Have you signed the Clean Up Cardiff petition yet?

Local Lib Dems launched a campaign calling on the council to take action to clean up our dirty streets.

Fly tipping dumped in our lanes, litter on our streets, litter bins overflowing and roads not swept leave Cardiff looking dirty and neglected. Labour are spending millions on the Arena and a new county hall, but residents can't get fly tipping removed.

The current council leadership have got their priorities all wrong. We are paying more and more council tax, yet it feels like the streets get dirtier and and dirtier.
The Lib Dems have launched a three point plan to clean up Cardiff, and are asking residents to sign our petition calling on the council to act.

1️⃣ Community sweepers, litter bins and fly tipping
Lib Dems are calling for every community to have dedicated community sweepers to clean our roads and paths, and to empty litter bins more frequently. The council need to remove fly tipping quicker and invest more in enforcement.

2️⃣ Pilot an alternative to the red and blue sacks
Lib Dems are demanding the council pilot an alternative recycling method to the red and blue sacks. Litter easily escapes the sacks, vermin can get in and they need to be stored inside. We need to look at other options.

2️⃣ Community skips and recycling centres
Lib Dems want to make it easier for people to access recycling centres without booking online and bring back community skips.

Please sign the petition below and support the campaign.

Fly tipping dumped in our woods, litter on our streets, litter bins overflowing and roads not swept leave Cardiff looking dirty and neglected. Labour are spending millions on the Arena and a new county hall, but residents can't get fly tipping removed.
