Corner of Thornton Crescent/Dobbins Lane

Reported via mobile in the Overflowing bin category anonymously at 22:44, Thursday 19 June 2025

Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7736307.

Each night, a fox empties the public bin opposite my house on Dobbins Lane, pulling out waste – including bagged dog poo and plastic – and scattering it across the road and footpath. I clear it up every morning, but it’s getting worse.

With the current extreme heat, this is a serious environmental health hazard – especially for children, cyclists using the Lionel Avenue/Dobbins Lane cycle route, and local wildlife. The current bin is not fit for purpose.

Please could it be replaced with a more secure, animal-proof bin as a matter of urgency?
