Yep, but even when the recycling bin is practically empty the bin men in their infinite wisdom still roll it out and empty it, you couldn't make it up, unless of course they are part of a bonus scheme to collect as much recycling waste as possible? Who know's but I wouldn't put it past the council for doing so.

I am not nor have ever been a member of the Tax Payers Alliance, was just letting others know what has been reported as it relates to actions Lewisham Council are apparently planning.

Whilst the council "strive" to reduce costs and save money, I'd suggest they look at themselves and those staff within the town hall, you know, those that work in the apparent "public" sector but earn eye watering extortionate salaries. Start by capping all managerial and leadership post salaries at £50K. That will make a huge saving. If they don't like it, they can go and work somewhere else.

Want to save more money, the borough has no need for a Mayor or Young Mayor and all the hangers on, cut those posts. Cut the Mayor's limousine at the same time. The borough does not need a CEO either, another huge saving.
In fact lets have an audit of all council spending, the scrutiny alone will cut the wastage withing the Council.
The council needs to live within its means as it expects its residents to do.
