We have been approached by the Leukaemia & Myeloma Research charity to host a clothing bank collecting bin, initialy for a 6 month trial period.  The ‘bin’ is an approx 6 foot metal cube: it is a rather gaudy colour but we are looking at screening it from the road.  Yes, this defeats it’s noticeability but we are in a conservation area which we support…  The planners were approached and indicated it should be located towards the rear of the site and we were happy to comply.
