Fly-plagued residents in Pickering are petitioning Ryedale District Council to end its fortnightly rubbish collections (Evening Press, July 28).
Yet City of York Council is planning to introduce the same scheme city-wide - without even first doing a pilot test. The recent heat wave made our rubbish bag bad enough after a few days, let alone a fortnight.
York Green Party has called for fortnightly collections to be tested with a pilot scheme, but the ruling Liberal Democrats have rejected this. Will they now be persuaded to change their minds?
John Gray,
Jamieson Terrace, York.
