The Labour Council “Cabinet” has confirmed that it is still considering introducing a charge for the emptying of green waste bins.

However the decision has slipped once again – this time to their February meeting.

In effect this means that they cannot introduce charges during the current financial year. In turn this could mean that a hole will appear in their budget and will raise concerns that even higher charges for some services will be implemented next year.

The Council are still promising to consult on their plans using the internet. When they intend to do so remains a mystery.

This what Labour have done in Sheffield where they have also privatised waste collection. https://www.sheffield.gov.uk/environment/waste/bincollections/greenbins.html
