No more litter bins for Wirral?

Looks like Wirral won't be getting any new litter bins this year based on this message I've just had from the council:
-------------------------------

Good afternoon Mr Cleary

Thank you for your recent enquiry requesting the installation of a litter bin on Church Road between Beech Road and the new retail centre.

At present, all non essential expenditure has been frozen to enable the necessary savings to be made for the budget year 2013/14. This includes the purchase and installation of litter bins. It is therefore unlikely that any new litter bins will be available for installation within the next twelve months.

At present, officers are monitoring the usage of litter bins at various locations to determine if they are fully utilised. If a bin is identified as not being required at a particular location then the location you have requested will be given due consideration when determining where it is to be resited.

I trust this clarifies the Council's position on this matter
