1. Regency Square and the streets around it contain business and residential properties. The businesses are mainly hotels, restaurants, bars and shops. More and more businesses are storing their trade waste bins on the public footways. This is unsightly and it can block the footway, forcing passers-by into the street.

2. Here are some examples to illustrate the problem:

2.1. When the premises on the corner of Regency Square and Preston Street were converted from a restaurant to a bar, trade waste bins appeared on the pavement (photo 1). The Regency Square Area Society (RSAS) asked Cityclean to take action. It took over two years to get the bins moved. The problem arose because the plans for the bar did not provide for an on-site waste store. These plans were approved by the planning authority, contrary to its own guidelines.
