What can people who are angry with the government system of a village do? A unique example of this was seen recently in England. Mousehole is often called “the loveliest village in England” in terms of beauty. But the residents here became very angry with the local administration regarding garbage management. The situation worsened to such an extent that when the administration took a big step to solve the problem, people got angry and gave a strange name to the city!
Residents of Mousehole have renamed it ‘Binhole’ following a row over rubbish piled up in the streets. The green bins covered in bird droppings have become an eyesore in the community, which is also known as ‘the prettiest place in Cornwall’ according to locals.
The issue began earlier this year when Cornwall Council introduced new grey bins that must be emptied every two weeks. However, residents claim that while the new bins were delivered, the old green bins have not been removed. Officers said more than 10,000 requests have been received to remove the old bins.

People also point fingers at other homeowners, who rarely visit the place and may not be aware of the change. According to the Daily Star Residents and businesses are angry after local authorities left their old wheelie bins out for collection. Welsh poet Dylan Thomas once described Mousehole as “the loveliest village in England”. But local resident Kim Hambleton told Cornwall Live: “I now call my village ‘Binhole’.
A Cornwall Council spokesperson said: “Our contractor has already started clearing the bins that households have asked us to collect. Due to the large number of bins in the area, this will take several weeks to complete. Anyone who has signed up for the collection service will receive a message on the Sunday before their bin is collected, so they know where to leave it outside.” However, people’s informal renaming is a topic of discussion.
