In response to Sarah and her question about how do they know from whom to collect and who has signed up. Yes they do indeed have a list. Last week on Valetta Road the van came round whilst I was talking to an elderly resident who had indeed signed up, and initially the two guys collecting the sacks (both the old pink and the new green bags) passed her by. So we called them back over and the supervisor checked his list. Only after double checking did they discover she was on it and then took the garden waste. The point is, that it is a very inefficient way of collection. The broader point is that the take up rate is below expectations, and the Council does not have the revenue that was budgeted for, so it is possible that the £40 charge could be higher next year, which will only see fewer people sign up. Opposition councillors have used full Council meetings, Scrutiny and the Freedom of Information Act to try and get an accurate picture of how this debacle occured, but it is like an episode of Yes Minister, you only get a helpful answer if you ask exactly the right question.
