Not one size fits all

Like D Dawson in Tauranga (The Weekend Sun, December 13, page 39) I was very disappointed in the latest waste disposal survey. This survey has all the pointers to a bureaucrat enhancing all their own options, with no regard whatsoever to what the ratepayers either want, need to accept or pay for.

There has been so much promotion of the need for Council and their staff to focus on what the customers want, rather than seeking to expand their roles, influence and salaries?

Their latest survey is just Council telling us what they will provide and charge for. No consideration or option for ratepayers to opt into any or some options. Just like the glass collections! We take about four-to-six weeks to accumulate enough unbroken glass to fit into the blue crate – and even then several local neighbours combine all their glass into our single crate!

When is the council going to focus on what we need or want, not just assume one size decision fits all?
