Binmen will no longer go down alleyways to collect rubbish amid concerns for their safety.

But there are fears that disabled Worthing residents will not be able to move rubbish or materials for recycling to the front of their homes.

The borough council is planning a series of personal visits before the June start date to explain the new arrangements and offer help and advice.

The council also wants leaflets, public exhibitions at community centres and libraries, and possibly newsletters, to explain what is happening.

Health and safety rules mean refuse collectors will now be discouraged from picking up rubbish from alleyways after concerns were voiced about them being injured by overhanging branches, obstacles and slippery paths.
