[holding answer 4 September 2013]: The Department does not hold this information. However, since the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, my right hon. Friend the Member for Brentwood and Ongar (Mr Pickles), made an announcement on 16 August to tackle bin blight (unsightly bin clutter), the Department has received over 60 letters of enthusiastic support for this stance from members of the public. The Government is to publish new guidance which will require suitable provision to be made for proper waste storage in new homes. This will help avoid bins dominating residential streets or contributing to increased odour and roadside litter. This is part of our wider programme of tackling the failed waste collection policies of the last Administration, and protecting the local amenity and local services of hard-working people.
