Rubbish

It does seem such a shame that this local council has dragged us back to a byegone age, by not clearing the rubbish from households.

They will not take this, or that, only if it fits inside the bin.

What have we here, is there a little man somewhere jumping up and down squealing "They must take their own rubbish...So there"

Who voted these people in that refuse to carry out their municiple duties..That of clearing the rubbish and keeping our town clean.
While I am at it...who was it that coated our roads with tar and chippings. I would like to know, I have a heavy bill for his attention, for the damage he caused.

What is even worse is that no sooner were the chippings down than they had vanished leaving stretches ungritted.

STC are only playing at re-cycling. If they were serious then they'd accept our cardboard, plastic bags and plastic bottles. If they need a weekly collection, so be it. That would surely be greener than everyone driving up to Panorama Road to dump this waste?

And if we are trying to reduce the amount of plastic bags being used and ending up in land fill, why does PDC recommend food waste is double wrapped?

The Town remains very littered at the moment. When there are two and three times the normal number of people are the litter patrols stepped up accordingly? Are the bins emptied two and three times a day?

I asked this question at the council meeting on Monday, and was assured that there are extra collections during Regatta week. And I saw them collecting last night at around 8pm.

PDC got it totally wrong when it rushed ahead with what it calls the alternate week rubbish collection.
They didn't consult anyone so they didn't have anyone's views to listen to and it was only after the decision was taken and the system being introduced that they were forced to think about the problems.
Now of course it is becoming clear that despite nearly half a million pounds having been spent on the overly-large wheelie bins the official advice now is that where such bins are being introduced they should be smaller and that the collections should be every week.
That's a very large chunk of money which has been wasted because no councillor asked the right questions.
This should be the subject of a what went wrong inquiry.
As it seems they are all equally culpable, there'll be no such thing.
