I wrote to my two local councillors about the rubbish problem we have,on 29th June, councillors Keith Standring and Deirdre Williams.Mr Standring did not bother to reply at all, and Cllr Williams replied"I am not sure what you expect me to say".

Oddly enough, I expected them to say they were acting on my behalf -isn't that what they're FOR? - and protest and try to get things sorted!

In the end I contacted Mr Dodge, the top man (contact him on 01424787580) who did, eventually, manage to get our rubbish collected,although I had to ring him every day for a week, then three times the following week.

I wait with bated breath to see if our rubbish is collected again this thursday!

It seems the problem is that as we are in flats and have no new wheelie bins, we are still supposed to be collected weekly - but the bin mendon't seem to have been told!

The week before, they came up the road, collected FOUR newspapers frommy paper bin, and left the rubbish to be gone carefully through by therats! Unbelievable.
