As Andrew says, problems with a few children from Kelvin (I am not sure the "respect agenda" is wholly effective).
However, it is this ward that tops the league for recycling. Many expected it would be "The Avenues" an area where many like to talk loudly of their support for green issues.
As ever in our Ward we don't talk we just do!
The new garden waste trial results are out and show that presentation has gone up a staggering 63.17% leading to a reduction in waste that would have gone to landfill of 12.64%.
Staggeringly effective and we are pushing for this trial to be rolled out to all who want it.
At Wyke Area committee today I persuaded colleagues to accept we should review all bin routes to ensure they were fit for purpose. If we are to ha a waste service tailored to your needs it is important the routes reflect house/lifestyle/occupancy factors not what happens to suit the council.
Not for the first time Andrew and i were successful, but this is because in Wyke we are mature enough to support good ideas wherever they originate and not do silly partisan point scoring. The planet belongs to us all, the first step towards saving the planet is a local one. Andrew and I act locally thinking globally.
