We have a collection point in my street, (which is at my back gate because I'm the first house). How are they going to decide which bags to take? If they think they're leaving the remainder at my gate for yet another week they've got another think coming!!

they should have never have given them the week before christmas off with pay to make up next week

The world has gone mad this is the council who insist on H&S and go over the top to enforce it at every given opportunity, yet offer no advice or assistance to our schools when faced with the recent issues, the organisation of their workforce is nothing short of a joke, the solutions they arrive at to solve their problems are pathetic.

They have insisted via email that local schools fulfill their obligation to provide education for the statutory number of days this year, what about their obligation to the council tax payer to provide the services we pay for, if teachers are expected to perform as if nothing has happened why not the other people employed in other council services.

Dont think i'll be taking my bin back in...

Will they pay some compo to me, if i hurt myself doing it?

no because the snow is an "act of god"

Act of Nature.

If it was an act of god, you can sue the Churches!

thats been tried Dave and didn't get anywhere as first you have to prove god exists

i think you'll find the official phrase is act of god whether you like it or not

act of metro

Well I've got a full bin and two bags to go as well cos they've not been for ages. People are obviously going to have more rubbish early in the New Year and I understand about the snow and ice but I'm sure the big waggons are as easy to move around as the smaller ones.



Not sure I understand the logic to be honest. I'm not emptying my bin to take it to the tip unless I get some money back off my council tax the robbing sods

If they are anything like round here they left all the bin bags just emptied the bins.

Cumbrian binmen must be made of sterner stuff because we haven't missed a collection
