| You make good points Peter. From a simple council taxpayer's perspective I guess I simply look at both the 'bottom line' (the council tax I pay), whether the service is effective and whether the effort I put into recycling is effective by the recycling rates increasing. I really have no idea what Hillingdon pay to secure their service but from a 'top down' view I do know that they still have weekly collections, free garden waste collections, higher recycling rates than Ealing and lower Council Tax rates. My concern with the LATCO that is being formed is that it adds another 'arms length' layer into the equation in that although the LATCO is owned by Ealing, its employees work for the LATCO and are effectively not council employees. |
