South Midlands Mail Centre has been forced to seal up a post box after dog poo is being pushed through it.

The post box on Redbourne Court, in Stony Stratford, has now been taken out of use to residents.

South Midlands Mail Centre has asked Stony Stratford Town Council to remind residents where their local poo bins are in a bid to stop this happening elsewhere.

The post box is expected to be unsealed in a few weeks' time after hopefully offenders have learnt to use a proper bin.

So in case you didn't know, dog poo bins are often red, but they are also well signed, and they are located at;

1. Wolverton Rd, near allotments path, opp Ancell

2. Footbridge from Ousebank Way to Mill field

3. Calverton Rd south end, car park

4. Toombs Meadow (relocated from Fegans Court)

5. Slade Lane on redway opposite Woolmans entrance

6.Galley Hill redway between Creslow Court and Cottesloe Court

7. Mill Lane entrance to Millfields

8. Wolverton Rd Rec at Ryelands entrance

9. Redway running thro Calverton End park

10. Hastings end of Mallets Close Rec

11. Nature Reserve Car Park off Queen Eleanor St

12. Junction of Hale Ave and London Rd

13. On redway adjacent Mursley and Manshead Crts, Galley Hill

14. On redway adj Galley Hill QES Bus Stop

15. Adjacent footbridge Fullers Slade to Greenleys

16. At entrance of car park to Ouse Valley, off Queen Eleanor St (across the road from Toombs Meadow) before you cross Old Stratford bridge

17. Footpath off of Queen Eleanor Street (near the junction of the Stony Stratford Roundabout).

18. Footpath off of Queen Eleanor Street nr. Essendon Court

These bins are emptied every week on a Monday and Thursday.

Only twice a week?!? So why then haven't RM got us emptying these bins? We could earn a bit of extra revenue if we did so and twice a week is easily doable. Anyone else up for it? We can put the 'contents' in a tray in the back of the van, might smell a bit yes but should be fine if you leave the window open when driving. If interested speak to your manager.
