Ards and North Down Council has committed to more bin collections for residents next year.
At a meeting of its Environment Committee this week, elected representatives voted to hire four more waste collection workers, procure two more refuse vehicles and expand collection routes for the borough in the 2023/24 financial year.
This was the Option Two strategy as presented to elected members by Ards and North Down Council’s officers. Option One involved addressing additional service demands through “ever increasing overtime working and piecemeal catch up working across existing collection routes.”
