CORNWALL Council has apologised to the Launceston lady who revealed rubbish left in a post box in the Trecarrell area of town had not been cleared, despite her reporting it nearly two months ago.

Sarah McDonnell said that the rubbish had been left in the public facility for between six and eight weeks — despite her informing both Cornwall Council and a community officer.
