"Would anybody object to transferring SE23 to Southwark?

We could have free garden waste collection and a proper staffed library"

...and we'd probably (possibly?) get fewer fugly private towerblocks built on public, open green spaces too, so yeah, i'm up for it Michael!

Seriously though, i think this will lead to a load more fly-tipping, which will ultimately cost the council more to clear up.
I liked the green bag scheme, as i've used a couple of rolls but no more on the few occasions when i've had more twigs and woody waste than easily compostable stuff from the garden to get shot of, but i don't think i'll use a bin regularly enough to justify the cost and space it'll take up, as i take most of my green waste down to the allotment to compost (which, incidentally, is cheaper to rent per year than to subscribe to a green waste bin, so i really am getting a bargain with my great big compost heap on Lewisham Council owned land!). Oh well, i'll be making a lot more compost to grow my veg from now on...thinking of getting one of these rather than 'subscribe' to Lewisham http://www.hotbincomposting.com/

It's a better deal!
