@denyer_adrian @GMB Its the same legislation s47 Environmental Protection Act 1990. So yes they can be fined Maximum £110

@GMB What about all the businesses that leave their bins on the pavements. In Falmouth there are cafe’s/bars that clutter the pavements with bins and never move them. It looks disgusting and causes obstructions to the pavements.

A council is considering fining households that fail to remove their bins once they’ve been emptied. Supporters are calling it “bin blight,” claiming that the bins devalue homes and clutter the pavements. But is it fair to fine households for leaving bins out?

@handymanmickbt1 @GMB Yes its the same legislation so enforcement is for leaving all waste/ waste recepticles out on the public higway

@GMB If you get fined for leaving your bin out, is my neighbour going to get a fine for putting a desk/dressing table outside their house over a month ago hoping someone would take it and haven't. Totally ruined by the weather but it's still there.

@bristolboudicca @GMB If you are disabled you can apply for an assisted collection. Our notices state tp bd put out after7pm the day before and removed before 7pm the day after colection, allowing for those who work shifts

@GMB It depends how long the bins have to be left out before the law is broken. Many people aren’t around to bring them back in immedately and many have disabilities which means they need help to do so. If this is an issue maybe bin men could go back to collecting from on the property

@eyup_io @GMB They will receive a legal notice and 2 warnings before a find is issued.

@GMB Aye, sounds a bit harsh to punish families over bins, love. Maybe a gentle nudge or a reminder instead of a fine—after all, we all have our off days, don’t we?

@Dai1Williams @GMB The government . Its been law since 1990. S46 Environmental Protection Act 1990. Its not new councils enforcd across the country

@GMB Who on earth came up with this ?

@bigpodski @GMB This is allowed you put your bin our after 7pm the day before and remove it before 7am the day after collection to allow those who work shifts to comply

What about those who put their wheelie bins out before work early morning and dont arrive home until late....and what about those who are disabled or elderly and have to walk up the street to retrieve their bins, because the bin men are too lazy to put the bins back outside of the homes where they were left...its s stupid idea!

@marty1963920 @GMB Report to your local council. If it is detremental or has the potential to harbour pests they should be taking action

@GMB Should force/fine skanks to upkeep their gardens etc too. Heavily overgrown gardens that're used as general waste dumping grounds do have a negative impact for other neibouring properties!! They attract pests, and effect property values.

@StottGeorge @GMB Lazy people just bring in your bin

@GMB They do cause an obstruction but the bin don’t help by leaving them strewn all over the street, but there’s not much excuse for them being out the day after bin day

@GMB This is not new it has been an offence to leave your bin out on the public highway since 1990.s46 Environmental Protection Act. A local authority has a stutory legal obligation to ensure the highway is free from obstruction.

@GMB We don't care. It is not news. STOP reporting on it

Sir David Beckham and Lady Victoria are yet to respond publicly to the damning accusations made against them by their eldest son, Brooklyn. The family rift has been blown open by an explosive six-page letter posted on Instagram alleging that his parents have tried to control and manipulate him. @SwainITV reports.

@dunc722 @GMB Lip filler, hair, nails, eyelashes

@GMB Does the government honestly believe that the extra money paid to some parents will go towards the child, it will go towards the latest I phone, vapes or booze/drugs.

The Chancellor has defended her decision to scrap the two-child limit on benefits, telling Good Morning Britain that all children deserve a "fulfilling life" regardless of "however many brothers and sisters" they have. Rachel Reeves said that many of the families receiving handouts were, in her words, "working incredibly hard". @LouisaJamesITV reports.

@GMB There is no guarantee that this money will be spent on the children. The money should have gone to schools for breakfast clubs and every child having a free school meal,therefore every child will benefit

@GMB @SwainITV Our Greggs has a security guard

Greggs is removing self-serve fridges in some of its locations in a bid to tackle shoplifting. Refrigerated items such as sandwiches and bottled drinks have been moved behind the counter in at least five of its branches. @swainitv reports.

@Mark90Jones @GMB But with power and benefit cuts, food rationing thaf would soon stop

@GMB They are too lazy to fight unless they are sat on electrical devices, bring back the national service

This morning we're celebrating 80 years since our triumph in World War Two, all thanks to the young men and women who bravely signed up and risked their lives to defend Britain. But if another large-scale conflict were to break out, would we have the same fighting spirit? According to a new poll, nearly half of Brits said they would refuse to fight for their country "under any circumstances". Former Armed Forces minister Anne-Marie Trevelyan and Senior Lecturer in Sociology discuss.

@aksaibluenose @GMB @NickDixonITV The costs went up because more items are made of non recyclable products and therefore cost more to dispose of

@GMB @NickDixonITV Fly tipping increased exponentially when govt decided to make refuse a money making service. We already pay for it with council tax.

Cars and vans used by fly-tippers could soon be more easily seized and crushed by councils, and culprits could face longer behind bars. It's part of a proposed government crackdown on illegal rubbish dumpers. @nickdixonitv reports.

@salimag @GMB @NickDixonITV In this Country that is flytipping

@GMB @NickDixonITV In Spain you can just leave an item near a shared bin area will be collected. I’ve seen small fridges left,no cost.

@GMB @NickDixonITV This is already in law and happens. It is not new

@GMB where do you get your 'rubbish' reports. Flytipping is already an arrestable offence, you can already go to prison, vehicles used for flytipping can already be crushed

@hobo_scotland @GMB Exactly. When you pay you get an email from paypal ,google pay etc and if you have an app for the payment company you get an email to say you've paid

@GMB In regards to the man who got a £100 fine, his parking payment would appear on his bank statement

The AA has accused private car parking operators of being 'shark-like businesses', pressuring motorists into paying unjustified parking fines. It comes as a new survey found that one in 20 drivers would pay a penalty charge notice, even if they had done nothing wrong.

@mrsjbutler @GMB Exactly i get text messages for all my hospital, Dr and dentist appointments

@GMB Has he not given the hospital his email or mobile number. We have a vast amount of appointments for the husband and get emails then reminder texts. In regards to mail our post has now gone down to two deliveries a week due to lack of staff

For some the impact of late arriving mail can be profound. Colin Stone is the father of a disabled daughter who has complex needs and relies on the post for hospital appointments.
