I am over 90 years old, live alone and am somewhat disabled.
I cannot carry sacks of rubbish or green bins. I contacted Darlington Council’s street scene service and agreed to have someone leave my rubbish outside a garden gate near the front door.
This worked a few times but not today.
Street scene men walked past without even a backward glance.
I phoned their offices to report the matter and was told that they are not allowed to walk up my path – it is private property.
Could it be that before long the postman will leave all my mail on the grass?
L Walker, Darlington
