And then the horse complaining that it is thirsty. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bloody lot of horses. Well have to agree to differ. All they needed was a piece on MR a couple of days before. They failed to use more opportunities to not achieve. Some might think it was devious. The proof was in the pudding. It was awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure it was on MR. Also, why would they be devious? Do you think they were hoping that if they were quiet about the start date, no-one would notice when their bins were not emptied? I suspect something nearer the truth is people ignored it as being something that would not affect them, but when it became apparent that there would have to be a relatively minor change in habits they were outraged. Sure there will be issues experienced by some, but they just need to be addressed which the Wells' letter says they are doing. Most sensible people would understand what they are trying to achieve, make the minor adjustments to their routine and give it a few months to see if it beds in correctly.

What’s wrong with you? Haven’t you been told this enough yet? A policy adopted by a previous council and one adopted by many local authorities elsewhere for at least 20 years ?

They’re now engaging with the management companies of flats. Why weren’t they doing that last year well before they decided to bring this in just to make sure there were going to be any issues with lack of space? It just sounds typical of any local authority. Let’s just make this stuff up, do no research, and when it all goes wrong just hunker down and accuse everyone else of being the problem instead of us. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I skim read it admittedly.

They are engaging with those who have raised issues with them which is exactly what you would expect them to do. You would also expect a proactive management company to have raised issues when the changes were first proposed having looked at how they would affect their own property arrangements.
