and in another newspaper, pay-as-you-throw charges are revived despite huge public opposition, if it is so unpopular why bring it back? there must be another way to solve this problem, I mean I do not hear of this sort of thing in other EU countries, the charges could be introduced as early as next year when quangos begin to take over refuse collections, plans to trial the scheme in January had to be abandoned after Labour failed to persuade town halls to back the idea,
ministers had been looking for five councils to run the pilot but, in the face of huge public opposition, not one local authority came forward, but critics of the scheme pointed out that the authorities will be run by councillors delegated by local town halls,
there will be no elections to decide who sits on the committees and voters will have no opportunity to pass judgment on what they do,
nice to know in Great Britain we live in a democracy where you can vote!
