'Town halls were poised to scrap fortnightly bin collections yesterday after the heatwave sparked a massive surge in maggots and flies.'
One small problem. In order to bring this about Council Tax bills will soar.
Let us not forget where the blame lies. THE EU with its Waste Directive which has wickedly bullied councils.

The European Union's waste legislation comprises three main elements:
Framework legislation, for example covering waste definitions, permitting requirements and infrastructure
Technical standards for the operation of waste facilities to ensure a high standard of environmental protection
Requirements for specific waste streams, for example measures to increase recycling or to reduce hazardousness.

How strange that as a nation we are just incapable of making our own decisions on such matters.
This is what happens when your country has seen its quisling politicians sell off our birthright to Brussels for a mess of directives.
