HUNDREDS of people have signed a petition calling on Herefordshire Council to reinstate a binman who destroyed a three-year-old boy s snowman. The petition, which was launched by Tsvetan Tsvetkov on Change.org on January 28, had garnered more than 500 signatures by Friday lunchtime. Although it is directed at Herefordshire Council the binman was actually employed by an agency. A statment from Herefordshire Council said: We understand the interest in the recent news coverage. We are unable to comment as the person was employed by our waste contractor, who are handling the matter in accordance with their HR policies. In an earlier statement released yesterday, the council said: The employee was a member of agency staff working on behalf of one of the council’s contractors, and he has been informed that he will not be used again.
