There's no need for anyone to worry about their rubbish any more. This is from tonight's telegraph:

'We're guilty of gobbledegook!'

WANTED: Neighbourhood Pride Motivator - or in plain English, a recycling worker.

Hyndburn Council was today accused of joining the long-line of organisations guilty of using technical 'gobbledegook' after advertising the environmental post without mentioning rubbish or recycling in the job title. "

According to adverts the role, which commands a salary of £18,537-£19,766, requires a 'highly motivated individual, fluent in Urdu', to 'raise awareness and provide information of waste management, recycling and waste collection services'.

Meanwhile, from yesterdays Observer:

"HYNDBURN’S pioneering neighbourhood wardens face the axe because of a funding crisis.
Six of the 12 wardens – who have done vital work in the borough’s most run-down areas – will get the chop next March, with the rest following a year later.

The bombshell news was revealed this week after the council confessed it could not find enough cash to keep paying them."

So we can get rid of the wardens, who are on I believe £13,000 each, yet apoint an urdu speaking Neighbour Pride Motivator, on up to £20,000.

Does anyone else have a suspicion that something is not quite right here?
