Anyone who lives near a supermarket knows how irritating and, sometimes dangerous, dumped trollies are. Battle Ward has a Tesco in it's centre and a Waitrose and Asda nearby so dumped trollies are a regular feature. The trolleys are currently reported and the supermarket collects them once or twice a week.
If approved at Cabinet on 16 April 2012, Labour led Reading Borough Council will be able to charge for collecting, storing and returning the trolley and, if not collected, destroying it.
I hope this means Battle ward is no longer littered with abandoned shopping trolleys!
