| Regarding speculation of possible failure (or success!) is not unreasonable. The wise can elicit information and the equally wise can read it and become even wiser and the less wise, well, wiser. Although the advertisement, in this case, of refuse collection times, has been exemplary, the proof would lie in a survey of properties which failed to adjust to the revised collection day. This could be for several reasons, paper copies were not received by householders - distribution problems, paper copies were received but not acted upon - this could be due to blindness, illiteracy, inability to understand English (not the same as illiteracy), morbid fear of any official document, etc. This where the survey could identify those residents requiring disability help, educational help, psychiatric help, and perhaps legal assistance. As most of the Council's hardcopy communications are in English only it is making a huge presumption that all the inhabitants understand English. |
