IT IS time the environmental health department and the council did something about the people who leave rubbish sacks on the roads week after week. The same people dump their rubbish in New Market Street and other areas of Bare - sometimes just after the bin men have been so their trash is left to fester for a week.

I, among others, have rung the council umpteen times, and they say they know who these people are and action is being taken, but still it continues.

This is just another example of the council's failure to serve the community.

Only last week we discovered that a paedophile had been living in the area. Why was he here in the first place? We have enough problem residents without having to import from outside.

Annoyed and concerned Bare resident.
