| Much here on the chestnut wheeled out by the council about the poor subsidising the rich. Same old tosh as the feeble justification for parking permit hikes. Non car owners still get hit to have a car using visitor permits. Same difference only more money taken under false pretences. You can live in a council house and have a garden. Plenty do. Plenty of gardens in Southall, Greenford,Acton and Perivale all with the whole gamut of demographics. Lots of concreted over ones too, for cars that avoid paying for a zone permit. No mention of that one. Those who are living in flats of low value also pay less council tax than most houses as they are (or should be, in a lower band) That does not mean though that a lower band dwelling throws out less or more waste than a higher band one although the less space one has the more you have to get rid of. Christmas trees? Well that ought to be of most benefit to those who live in flats be they small or large, council or private. Most who have a garden can compost or burn them at no expense to the tax payer. Boxes and more boxes? Has it not dawned on these idiots that many do not have front garden space or side entrances or even wide hallways? We cannot get a bicycle in our hall so it has to sit outside and peridiocally get tampered with. At least the sacks can be folded or crumpled up and kept out of the way till needed. Is there a prerequisite for a Labour administration to appear clueless and stupid? It really should not be alarmingly so. Did somebody actually get paid to come up with this wisdom? I see a cost saving already. |
