    it is a single gate leading to a back lane.

    just hope you lot dont get old and frail

    One day i will be old and frail but i won't expect the council to come and help me if a horse poos outside my house. Or i find a dead rat. It's simply nothing to do with the council, end of.

    The public highway is the responsibility of the local authority and the last time i checked back lanes are public highway.

    It is your problem.

    You are the one whose bin smells and probably will smell for a while coming.

    It is not the councils problem.

    Responsibility doesn't mean legging it out to every poo...
