Ashington Town Council is one of the largest town councils in Northumberland, with 18 elected Councillors across six wards, a budget exceeding £1.2 million, and a small but dedicated team delivering real impact for the communities of Ashington. We are ambitious for our town and we are looking for an exceptional officer to join us as Deputy Town Clerk.
Ashington Town Council has responsibility for all matters relating to the provision of litter bins. Northumberland County Council remain responsible for emptying bins across the town.
The Town Council has a programme of replacing ageing litter bins which are beyond repair, as well as providing new litter bins at new locations. We are aware that we are at capacity with litter bins in Ashington, and we are looking at litter bin use more strategically. Often a litter bin is not the answer and behavioural changes need to be encouraged.
Replacement litter bins will be considered in order of priority over the coming years. New litter bin requests will be received and considered in consultation with Northumberland Council.
To report a problem with a litter bin, or to make a request for a new litter bin, please Contact Us.
