I think many residents wished they would have raised the Council Tax instead of freezing it for so many consecutive years. It would have been good too if more effort had been made to make sure that: Residents were made more aware of the need for waste collectors to be licensed and that if found to be connected to dumped waste they too could be fined as well as the people dumping waste. And the need to make sure that the builders they used were licensed to take away waste so they weren't surprised by it being left behind or being asked for more money for Its removal by a licensed waste contractor. That the Environment Agency made more spot checks to catch illegal waste carriers - as they used to do. Some of this could have been done/be done by ads on TV by Govt because it covers ALL Councils. Of course Govt depts suffered cuts too. |
