Fryern Arcade Landlords have bottle Bank Removed

This morning when I went to the bottle bank at Waitrose, Chandler's Ford I found it was full:

So I went over the road to the one behind  the Co-op and this is what I found:

This is where the bottle bank behind the Chandler's Ford Co-op used to be.  Now it's just parking.

I therefore wrote ton the council and this is what they wrote back:

Good afternoon Mr Read

Unfortunately, the landlords of Fryern Arcade will no longer allow us to site a bottle bank in their car park.  We have been able to arrange with the Co-op to place some smaller public glass bins on their land and these will be delivered in the next couple of days. 

We apologise that the bottle bank at Waitrose is full and confirm this will be emptied tomorrow.  We appreciate that the absence of the bank in Fryern Arcade has put additional pressure on the Waitrose site.  Unfortunately, we did not receive sufficient notice of removal to be able to make immediate alternative arrangements or post notices regarding the relocation of bins but hopefully the situation will be resolved shortly.

Kind regards

This means, of course, that the bottle bank at Waitrose will fill a lot more quickly as the small bins at Fryern won't compensate fully.  It'll therefore be necessary to keep a close watch on this situation, which I shall do.
