Following enquiries from local residents, East Park Liberal Democrat campaigner Darren Friel has been dealing with the litter bin provision for the ward. Darren has secured the installation of a litter bin from the City's street scene division for the 529 bus shelter on Willenhall Road, Âadjacent St. Matthew's church in East Park Way. He has also had a replacement litter bin Âre-located in ÂHollington Road, after the last one was kicked off its fittings and damaged beyond repair. Darren Friel said, "The Liberal ÂDemocrats are Âcommitted to cleaning up this ward and making it a cleaner and brighter place in which to live, persistent littering has been an ongoing issue for the St Mathew's church car park and the Willenhall Road and has been completely overlooked by the Labour Âcouncillors. Having this litter bin installed will provide a much needed service for commuters and benefit the area as a whole."
