TEIGNBRIDGE MP Richard Younger-Ross is to look again at rubbish problems in Fraser Drive, Teignmouth. Residents say that the turning area in an already car-crowded street is being blocked by two large bins. And some people even park in the bay, making it difficult for motorists to get in or out. The refuse has become a headache for some residents, who feel they are banging their heads against a brick wall when trying to get something done. One woman, who did not want to be named, said: 'This has been going on for months and we are all sick of it, but even though we complain to Teign Housing, nothing gets done. 'I feel like taking pictures of the refuse and plastering it over their office windows, and see how they like looking at it all day,' she said. The large bins serve residents in Teign Housing properties who do not have wheelie-bin provision because of lack of space. But, despite looking into the problem some months ago, Mr Younger-Ross is concerned that there has been no resolution. Mr Younger-Ross said: 'This is something I will have to look at again, 'Clearly this is a matter that has yet to be resolved and has caused months of misery for residents.' Teign Estuary district councillor David Cox said that the council was aware of the issue. 'I know that the council's blitz team have been up there to clear some of the refuse but the difficulty is that each property cannot have individual wheelie-bins because of the lack of space. 'I agree that the whole of that area needs to be tidied up and the council is aware of the issue.' Talks have been held about the possibility of creating more off-road parking on a grass verge in the cul-de-sac to help resolve car overcrowding. A Teign Housing spokeswoman said that it was organising bin storage for the properties. 'It is something that we have working on in consultation with our residents. The bin provision in the turning bay is a temporary measure,' she said. The bins are being used in place of 24 individual bins for residents. Teign Housing said that it consulted with residents, who were more in favour of two large bins rather than individual ones left on the kerbside.
