Bob and Celine, of the Rye Internet Café, Queen Adelaide Brasserie in Ferry Road, are the unwitting victims of the removal of a large, black metal waste bin, which, up until very recently, stood about 20 metres from their premises. This may not sound much to you, but is seriously inconveniencing them, so read on!
The result of this unexpected disappearance is that large amounts of litter are now being dropped outside the pub (why are the great British public such litter louts?) Bob, being of a tidy and helpful nature, has been clearing this up and putting it in his own bin, which he has to pay to have emptied. The first week it was two extra kilos, the next five. The bin is costed by weight, so this is an extra outlay he should not be making.
In addition, there are now piles of rubbish being thrown over the fence on to the wasteland behind (see picture) Surely a health hazard as well as an eyesore. So, does anyone know the whereabouts of the bin and the reasons for its sudden removal? I expect the gulls are missing it too!
