Councillor Joe Hamblin said residents of The Arches estate off Bromyard Road in Ledbury had reported the "health hazard", which was overflowing with bags of dog mess. As a local litter picker, Cllr Hamblin, who is also vice chairman of Ledbury Town Council, took it upon himself to remove the bags and drop them in another bin. "I understand the estate also has issues with poorly maintained footpaths, overgrown hedgerows, and atrocious drainage," Cllr Hamblin said. "People living in The Arches estate deserve better, and I will keep fighting for them as a Town Councillor." "We appreciate that a local councillor has raised some maintenance-related concerns, and we are currently investigating these matters to establish whether any corrective action is required.
