A council have sparked backlash after it requested residents to collect leaves on their street to keep them clear as not everyone was left happy about the situation.
Cardiff Council has left some locals furious after it put out a call for volunteers to help sweep up fallen autumn leaves from the streets. In its 'Big Sweep' scheme, which has been running in parts of the Welsh capital for the last seven years, it encourages neighbours to help one another to keep their streets clean.
However, because the collection teams unable to "be everywhere at once" as they were piled up with work during the busy period, the Welsh council opted to ask residents to help out. The council even provided bin bags to sweep up the fallen leaves.
