Re: 60% think it's a Labour Council

What really cheeses me off is the fact that our council taxes are risen year by year, and seem to be getting less for our money!
They introduced the wheelie bins on a once a fortnightly basis, obviously saving money on wages of manpower,diesiel, road tax, overtime and so on and so fourth.

My aunty lives in an eleveted terraced house(only 5 steps), and she left her recycling bin on the garden(well within reaching distance of the street)... next thing she got a caution and the threat of a thousand pound fine for doing what she thought was helping the environment(not to mention owt thats worth owt alu, steel,paper n glass)...She was upset with the wording that(as she thought) made her out to be a criminal!

Is someboby getting paid a weekly wage for upsetting folk where common sense should be the way forward on this matter.
