had grey bin stolen from drive on sunday night,rang council said have to pay for new one £37.00 .told them three flats in block but have only ever had 2 of each bin . they aid they even charge for bins on new builds so we would have to buy them even though three people paying council tax.
Find a wrecked one somewhere - they replace knackered ones free of charge.
There's a real danger that the left will drag Britain back to the 1970s, with secure well-paid jobs, ample housing, properly-funded NHS and social care, free tuition, student grants, final salary pensions, affordable rail fares and fabulous films and music. David Osland 2025
We don't do charity in Germany, we pay taxes. Charity is a failure of governments' responsibilities - Henning Wehn
This is why I dont see the point in the sensus. It is ment to be a form to fill out so the council/gov know how many people there are etc in one home. If they can see that only one person lives in that home then why not charge them less council tax but only empty their bin once every 2-3 weeks. prob be to awarkward for them to get their heads around givin they fail to do it on a weekly basis.
The census is useless anyway, the data is 3 years out of date by the time it is analysed and published and it is only a snapshot of the country, on that particular day/week.
In addition, most of the data gathered by the census, could be gathered simply by using existing public databases, such as council tax, DWP, police etc...
You binmen are paid well too high for my liking! Picking and choosing wether or not to take a bin coz it's 'too heavy'. Get off ya fat asses and do some work for those 'overpaid' wages of yours!
Bring back the old style bins & binmen, at least they were emptied every week and the binmen didn't whine about how 'heavy'' they were!!!
Hear Hear!! Just to give an idea of how hard the job used to be, have a look at this map. The bins were put out into the alley behind the houses. The binmen had to walk from the bin lorry in the street, up the alley, & back with the bin, which could be heavy with ashes from the fire. If your bin was where I've put an 'x', that's a 200 yard round trip.
we had our brown bin nicked by the council when we first moved to Egremont because we "didn't pay for it" bullshit, we got it with the house, the asswipes.
Long before the wheely bins, when it was the old metal bin {some where galvo} that you put all the different kinds of waste in and the bin was emptyed every week.. If you lived in a household that required more than the ONE BIN you payed the council for a extra bin and you ALSO PAYED AN ADDITION CHARGE PER YEAR ON YOUR council tax {CALLED RATES IN THOSE DAYS}to have it emptyed. So nothing new in only been allowed one green bin and one grey bin {if you live on the wirral}unless your prepaired to pay extra. As far as been the only person in a house, you can fill the correct paper work in and get a reduction of your council tax reduction.
