| Far be it from me to make excuses for Hounslow Council. However, all local authorities are in a pretty dire situation with ever more huge cuts to budgets, so none of us should be that surprised when we have to start paying for services that were previously paid for out of the council tax. We cannot have it all ways, the government want this to be a low tax economy so in future if you want it you may find yourself paying for it, and if you can't? Well, you'll just have to do without. It probably isn't going to encourage anyone to dispose of garden waste responsibly though, we do compost but there is a limit to what you can do. A lot of garden waste will probably end up being fly-tipped once charges are imposed. |
