I have no idea if the gulls rip them apart in the 30 mins/hour before the binmen arrive, but there is no evidence when I return. <br /><br />I have witnessed a neighbour put their bag out, and before they got to the door a gull was on top of it.<br /><br />If I didn't have to leave at 0530, i'd be livid at having to get up to leave the bags out. Ramsgate is not unique in having victorian houses converted to flats, some narrow streets. Rather than sending people off on working parties to see how other councils "run" airports, I'd suggest they spend their time comparing how basic services work at other councils - bins, toilets etc.another stevenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20691138.post-47632100271373141432009-07-14T08:24:19.551+01:002009-07-14T08:24:19.551+01:00Steve, I've seen seagulls rip open bags within...Steve, I've seen seagulls rip open bags within a minute or two of putting the bags out. Also, many people don't work 9-5; I often get home from work at 2 or 3 in the morning, & certainly don't see why I should get up just because TDC won't empty my metal dustbin.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20691138.post-80510921806837753392009-07-14T07:22:38.479+01:002009-07-14T07:22:38.479+01:00I am glad this has come up again.

I live in Ramsgate, therefore I notice and care more about what's going on in Ramsgate more than I do, say, Westgate. Which frankly I haven't even seen for several years as it bores me witless.<br /><br />You could always email me your north side stories if you wanted them featured here.<br /><br />But in all honesty it sometimes doesn't even seem worth me paying my council tax, as it all appears to be spent trying to haul Margate's sorry ass into the 20th century (never mind the 21st), with very little being spent where the Tory councillors don't live. That's not a conspiracy theory, merely an impression I've gained over the past four years.<br /><br />Finally, with regard to the bogs, I've already said I'm working on an updated map following the Thanet-wide response I received to the last item.Richard Eastcliffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10514972891192411470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20691138.post-26906943642304170322009-07-13T15:21:55.616+01:002009-07-13T15:21:55.616+01:00Yes, & yes I have complained numerous times ab...Yes, & yes I have complained numerous times about the state of the road (to give them credit they generally send someone round to clean it up pretty quick when I do complain though).<br /><br />I'm just sick of people in Ramsgate automatically assuming that things are so much worse there without checking the facts. A good example of this was ECR's recent list of closed public loos, when in fact (as usual) it's a Thanet-wide problem.Peter Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06283534498743254609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20691138.post-11211768212955984472009-07-13T14:38:34.853+01:002009-07-13T14:38:34.853+01:00Oh, Peter, so you're claiming TDC refuse colle...Oh, Peter, so you're claiming TDC refuse collection is as poor in Margate as it is in Ramsgate?

However, we're left to leave our paper out in plastic bags and yes, the gulls attack them too. <br /><br />A cynic might argue that TDC couldn't give a stuff about Ramsgate wards, I, however, would argue that they are a bunch of simpletons incapable of creative thinking and lateral thought.
