Abuse believes that the Council suspends the campaign to inform the cart from the door to the door

The door campaign of the council recycling officers was part of the authority strategy to ensure that each resident was clearly informed about Changes to BIN collections This will come into effect on April 28 and answered questions.

But the program of involvement at the county level was suspended after only one day due to the aggressive response of the residents to the officers.

Within the Flintshire Environmental Committee on Tuesday, Buckley Pentrobin, Mike Peers, asked the officers why the “door surrounding” campaign asked.

“This decision did not go through control and I had no information about it, so I would just like to understand why it was stopped and there is an alternative,” he said.

The shocked counselors then listened to the Chief Officer of Streetscene and transport, Katie Wilby, explained that the fears for the council staff left them without any choice but to stop the activity.

“The knot of the door was attracted on the grounds of health and safety due to the threats and abuses received from residents towards our staff,” she said. “We had to pull it on these reasons.”

After the meeting, Mrs. Wilby gave more details on the incidents, who focused around Buckley, Northop and Sychdyn.

“Before moving on to Bin Negre Collections for three weeks in April, a public communications and involvement program was agreed to ensure that all residents were informed and prepared for change,” she said.

“As part of this, a door campaign was scheduled to visit as many houses in Flintshire. It started in February in Buckley, Northop and Sychdyn, but had to be suspended shortly due to concerns for our staff’s health and safety.

“While most people are respectful and friendly, I was aware of increasing incidents of unpleasant or inappropriate behavior towards our staff.

“Unfortunately, several of our employees have experienced verbal abuse, as well as online threats, and the decision to suspend the exercise was taken to protect our staff well. Verbal abuse and threatening behavior is not simply acceptable, and our staff is entitled to a safe job.

“Following the suspension of the door surrounding campaign, the Council performs a more directed involvement at public events to ensure that the staff is able to fulfill their jobs safely.”

This reaction to the alleged threatening behavior comes one week after the senior counselors have raised concerns because the aggression was intended for councilors and council staff for increasing the online council tax.

When the leader of the Flintshire Council, CLLR Dave Hughes, said: “It is important to listen to people’s concerns, but the level of aggression we see online is a great concern.

“I am happy to debate the problems and for people to tell us that we are wrong and we should do something different, but we need to be done in a civil manner.”

Councilor Saltney Ferry, Richard Lloyd, supported the suspension of the waste involvement activity, took part in colleague Saltney Ferry CLLR Jason Shallross.

“CLLR Shallcross and I made a lot of doors before entering the prohibition and I understood why it had to stop,” he said. “I am delighted to say that we will arrange an abandonment at the Community Center for Residents I have not reached.”

Community abandonment sessions and prospectus will now replace door involvement in the door.

“I put alternatives in place,” said Mrs. Wilby. “We take the suggestion to include updates and information packages in informative bulletins for members and send leaflets.

“We also host a series of abandoned events. We have organized 30 so far and had a lot of positive feedback at these events about recycling officers and team.

“Those events have well participated the residents and we do not get the same level of animosity there.”
