??? - they've got more bins and separation than us! http://www.northampton.gov.uk/info/200084/recycling_rubbish_and_waste/1218/your_waste_and_recycling_collections

It would be good to know who implemented our ridiculous system of undersized back boxes, the man hours to collect them, and the way they're then processed.

No seriously, that is funny. I'll take it as an insult - piss take - backhanded compliment in equal measure! :thumbsup:

It's embarrassing for our City, our Council as a whole, not just this administration - that is what it paints. Even in that table, for the 2 years prior to the Greens getting the council in 2011, B&H dropped 25 places and had a 1.7% drop in recycling from 29.15% to 27.45%. From 2011, the...

Not really, every council will have had a different starting point. You used Horsham as an example, while their starting point is higher, their recycling performance from 2012/13 to 2013/14 dropped -13.88% compared to Brighton who dropped -3.73%. Lewes as an example however does have a rise of...

It's a failure, but the disgrace is at the feet of not just this administration, but at the feet of the administrations that have failed to implement a satisfactory service in the first place.

This isn't turning into a scene from the Life of Brian is it...?

Construction pricing is said to have risen by 20 or 25% in the last 18 months alone meaning many sites priced out at £1500 per sq m, are actually going to cost £2000 per sq m to build. Chatting to other professionals one of the key factors to this is rising labour rates due to a lack of skilled...

It's not like you to disagree vehemently...? :lol: When I say, they've not done a bad job, that is in comparison to previous administrations of our council - not to say they've done a good job. Bin disputes have been worse under previous regimes, and given the extreme cuts the Greens have faced...

I do. It is a Green led council, not a Green overall majority. Not sure they've done any worse than the Labour run, or Tory run councils preceding this current one. Professionally I've been impressed recently with the Green chair of the planning committee Councillor Phelim Mac Cafferty. He's...
