A councillor is calling for a crackdown on smelly bins.

Conservative councillor Gordon Buchan said that waste containers associated with restaurants that are left in the streets can be a serious cause of concern for residents nearby.

He has lodged a motion for a meeting of the full council today calling on the authority to establish a new by-law, giving it the power to remove waste containers if there is support from “up to six” neighbouring residents.
