Yes the Greens had the balls to implement a very misinterpreted piece of legislation. The main problem Cityclean face is political wrangling between the parties - they have plenty of good ideas on how to improve the service but can't implement many of them without political approval. I for one...

And they didn't get it ...... thankfully. If anyone wanted to see how pathetic the Greens locally are then they should have watched last nights council meeting and Jason Kitcats performance. Oh, silly me, our council can't even keep a webcast working !!!!!

No council in the country mixes standard recycling with garden rubbish. Lumping all the rubbish and normal recycling together would indeed save money on the actual collection but then push up sorting costs. You, and I as it happens, have chosen to have a garden - I don't expect people to pay...

As far as I'm aware, grants tend to be for one off setup costs for projects. Even with the ridiculous Valley Gardens project the grant doesn't cover on going costs after implementation - something the council has flippantly suggested would come from local businesses stepping in and paying the...

Coincidently the projected break even point is £60 a year ..... or £5 a month !

I'm not defending the Greens at all here ( they've been an utter failure ) but those percentages need proper tonnage to make a proper comparison. One reason so many councils have seen a drop in their recycling % is that we are now throwing less stuff away - 7% less in B&H's case. That reduction...

Once again, something CityClean want to do BUT they have been told to cut £800k from their budget for 2015. They costed up the garden waste collection service and it would cost £1m a year to run just in the suburbs. One thing they are considering is a charged service - a set cost per year to...

CityClean do want to switch to weekly recycling and bi-weekly rubbish to both cut costs and increase recycling but they have been prevented from doing so because the council is run by a minority and Labour and the Tories flat out refuse to support the idea.

A very convenient dodge of point 9.

You might like to tell B&H buses that - they think they have grown steadily at 5% per year for the last 12 years - no mention that most of it was in the last four years which would be quite a good thing to boast about don't you think ?

I agree that is the case but it still raises the questions why our buses cost so much compared to other cities ?

She would be far better off standing as an independent really.

Baroness Jones seems a tad touchy as well ... 'Baroness Jones raised eyebrows at the event when she appeared irritated by a number of questioners and told one journalist, who asked about the cost of the party's policies: "Yes, I wish I hadn't picked you, thank you for asking that fascinating...

I would vote for Lucas if I could but I can't. Local will be 2 x Tory and my last vote will go to a certain Mr Perry.

A certain NSC poster has been very quiet on the two Bennett threads :lolol:

They've done plenty of U-Turns while running the council .....
