Here in Cornwall the hot political topic is waste and recycling, with the new contractor now taking over people are confused (maybe just me) about what's going on. We were promised new recycling bags (and the affront of now paying for garden waste) and most haven't turned up there is confusion on the streets as people are reporting waste and recycling having not been collected. There is here a real failure to deliver, but in this we are not alone.
Lots of places up the country are at the moment gearing up for local elections. Thanks to Craig Weatherhill who spotted the Conservative election broadcast which features yet another Conservative failure to deliver. Eric Pickles bemoans the large salaries of CEOs of councils "Manchester Council: 200,010. Newham Council: 188,022. Newcastle Council 173,784." With the usual waste of taxpayers money rhetoric yet why have they done nothing about the Tory led Cornwall Council paying Kevin Lavery who earns more than all these examples? why don't they mention their own council here in Cornwall and their over paying while essential services are being cut left, right and centre?

At an undisclosed location in SE Cornwall we were expected, under the new rules, to take our rubbish and recycling a mile down the road. Not just one household, but 7! Sufficed to say, they were instructed to pick the rubbish up at normal and did. It pays to have influential neighbours. Others are not so luck.
ReplyDeleteBang on the money Rob! Mr Lavery is another example of a parasitic salary upon tax payers, and he's not even competent. Cornwall needs good governance and the rubbish contract is good example of where things are going wrong.
