HAS anyone else pointed out to Coun Waller that gardening is a seasonal activity? Which means the green bins he is intent on foisting on the city will be largely empty for two-thirds of the year.
In January I urged Coun Waller to investigate alternatives to wheelie bins and suggested names of authorities operating good practice in this field.
Initially he claimed this had been done but when I met him in June he admitted it had not, and green bins had been ordered regardless.
If the council is unwilling to listen to reason, residents are fully entitled to take matters into their own hands. If we refuse to accept green bins the council will have to investigate the alternatives.
