13 February - Enough is enough. Too much actually!

Amazon binDear Councillor Ball,
You are right, there comes a point when the only conclusion is that we are being ripped off. The free garden waste service you introduced 20 years ago became £27 a year in the Autumn of 2015 and is now £65 with a threat from the Head of Waste Services that the fee will go up again every year while residents show a willingness to keep on paying.

I cancelled my Direct Debit today and will see how I get on. I last filled my brown bin in mid-December and have managed to find a few twigs for next Friday. I may have to stop trimming my neighbour’s hedge and mowing her small lawn and if the incinerator cannot cope there is a free bin in Socialist North London provided to a cousin who has concrete for a garden.

Yours sincerely,
Malcolm Knight
