And a Tory governmentIt’s a Labour council.
Who, along with so many Councils have been shagged relentlessly by Tory Governments changing Local government funding arrangements and reducing the Revenue Support Grant.It’s a Labour council.
I agree wholeheartedly. However, it's also got fuck all to do with the political slant of the Council.This dispute has nothing to do with the Government.
It’s a local issue that is not being resolved.
Like shite they will. All the extra coin they’re not paying the bin men will go straight in to their bonuses at the end of the year. Scum bags.
I work for the council and confirm this is true. Cha ching. March’s pay is going to be topper.
Wonder if you get many.
Agree with that can see an additional charge for your general waste to be collected from your door probably once a month similar to the garden waste. Feckers will try the same for the recycling as wellDoubt it. I don't know what the legislation is around waste collection but you'll probably find that Councils arent obliged to collect waste directly from individual properties.
Id suggest people get used to it cos we'll move to central waste collection points in estates, villages, towns eventually where it's up to the residents to take their own waste to a central collection place....and if you want it picked up from your door it'll be at an additional cost.
Once one Council has the balls to try it, they'll all go. I might suggest it in SCC on the understanding I get 10% cut of the savingsAgree with that can see an additional charge for your general waste to be collected from your door probably once a month similar to the garden waste.

Yep, you're correct just had a quick look. Some environmental act states has to be collected from domestic property unless access is so difficult that it would be cost prohibitive to do so.Doubt they could, I think it's a statutory service and charging would be counterproductive as they'd spend more cleaning up all the fly tipping.
No doubt some may try a workaround though, given the state of local government funding.
Clearly not.I though 5% was the maximum without a referendum?
So youre trying to tell me the leader of STC wont be involved?I agree wholeheartedly. However, it's also got fuck all to do with the political slant of the Council.
It's a dispute between staff and some senior management, nothing to do with the elected members. Which for some reason people don't seem to understand.
Given it's gone on for so long and it appears both sides are refusing to move there'll be all sorts of legal shite involved which is likely costing a fortune as well.
One bloke did. Left a letter in it tho so they got him for it, £200 fixed penalty.I’m surprised the good people of South Shields are not taking their refuse and dumping it on the Town Hall steps.
Disgraceful how long this dispute has been going on.
If these clowns can't be sacked, I honestly don't see why they can't be "redeployed". They've utterly failed in managing a service fit for purpose for the past several months, and the council are negligent for letting it drag on so long for the sake of these two.I'm more furious with the bosses
