Our dustbins are emptied on a Monday, so out went the bin today full to overflowing with all the Christmas wrappings etc. No sound of a lorry which you usually hear from 7am onwards made me ask a neighbour if it was the snow that had prevented them coming round. To my dismay I was asked if I had not had a leafelet attatched to my bin last Monday as they don't intend coming round this area until the 11th of January How much more rubbish are we going to have in another two weeks on top of all the Christmas refuse? and for heavens sake where are we going to store it for all that length of time? Do they not know there are people who don't have transport to take it to the tip or are physically able to do so?
What a time of year to decide on this action, they couldn't have chosen a worst time and a time that would annoy people more. Are we to get a reduction in our community charge because they haven't provided a service we have already paid for? Would you pay the milkman or the window cleaner if they didn't leave milk or clean your windows?
Burnley Council. you have gone too far. This is your daftest idea yet!
