Dear Western Mail
The City Council waste disposal service is crap
Very Annoyed Bloke Called Tony
North Cardiff
In Bristol, the council announced a 10 week suspension of the garden waste collection (which costs £30 a year on top of council tax and you have to buy the wheelie bin for £30) on the day it was due to be collected, meaning that many people have green bins full of garden waste and have to make other arrangements to get rid of green waste.
Apparently, it’s the driver shortage…
They are considering making us sort our recycling out now into various bags or something, god knows how that will work and where we are supposed to store it all separately…..apparently it works well in Pembrokeshire where of course barely anyone lives and there are no flats of any note
I'm waiting for the next installment where people complain about the council wasting money on cycle lanes and closing Castle Street, instead of spending it on essential services.
Here we are, Wednesday, pavements in Llanishen still full of green bins, council’s Ap now saying pick up today
F***ing useless
If only there weren't council staff shielding all would be ok.
I'll happily swap your green bin for my hygiene waste that wasnt collected last week and wont be til next Tuesday.
Always wondered what the CC of CCMB meant - obviously Curmudgeon Central 👍
You say that in jest but it's a very valid point . £21 million shortfall in finances requiring a 4.5% rise in council tax because the shortfall is impacting on public services. But 300K spent on a 100m bus lane that saves 40 seconds and 1 million on a cycle lane 1 mile long in Allensbank road. How much have they spent on roa closures/restrictions and huge underused cycle lanes since Mar 2020? How many lives has it saved and ow many have been lost due to lack of services?
Similarly I saw a video of a car turning into Windsor Place, straight over the blue cycle lane, missing a cyclist by inches. Not ideal, but awareness is needed from everyone . Maybe the bus drivers should remind passengers to check for cyclists as their getting off the bus.
