Opting out

I am objecting to the new council-run waste service as a home owner and landlord.

Like many other people, we manage our food waste by composting and taking our clean recycling to the transfer station.

As a landlord I try to keep rents as low as possible but rates increases make that very hard to do.

The council have decided that some properties will not be able to receive the service so will not be charged.

So, people not wanting this service should be able to opt out.

As for the ‘Have Your Say' survey, the first question should be ‘Do you want this service?'

Where is the freedom of choice and council listening to the people?

What will happen to the contractors that are providing the service now, one of them being a small, locally-owned business?
