Wheelie Cam

Can it be true? Non-stop wheelie bin webcam action! See highlights of the 120,000 wheelie bins that are predominately parked on the streets of the city.

See the visually impaired stumble, see parents with pushchairs face the dangers of the highway...

SEE WHERE THE QUEEN HERSELF TROD

No Laws Apply???

Leicester, like many Cities around the the UK, suffers from the grey unforgiving wheelie bin invasion.

1000's of bins 24 hours a day, all week, all year. An eyesore, an obstruction and a health hazard. Yet, claiming they can only impose a Ł1000 FINE on offenders, Leicester City Council diligently continue to do nothing about its decade old problem.

So what does Section 149 of the Highways Act 1980 mean to Leicester City Council then?

Err... nothing...

Section 149 of the Highways Act 1980

(1) If any thing is so deposited on a highway as to constitute a nuisance, the highway authority for the highway may by notice require the person who deposited it there to remove it forthwith and if he (sic) fails to comply with the notice the authority may make a complaint to a magistrates' court for a removal and disposal order under this section.

.... there are six sub-sections of Section 149. All reinforce the same thing: that if there is a nuisance on the public highway the council has the power to act. But they still don't...
