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?
