| At the Overview and Scrutiny Committee last night Cllr Mann repeated that charging for removing garden waste was fair because 1) this is not a statutory service that the council has to provide 2) only some households have gardens (so flat owners are currently subsidising those with gardens) 3) most other councils have been doing this for years. It seems that those not wanting to pay £40 a year for garden waste removal will have to take it to the "recycling centre" themselves. The option of buying one-time-use plastic bags for garden waste at the Library will not be available. I apologise to those that I have told that this service would be available. |
