Comments on: Rubbish collection: are the Tories saying different things to different people? http://www.libdemvoice.org/rubbish-collection-are-the-tories-saying-different-things-to-different-people-738.html Our place to talk - an independent website for supporters of the Liberal Democrat party in the UK.

I don't think that weekly or fortnightly (or any other time period) for rubbish collection is the "right" way forward. That's something that varies from area to area and can depend on number of factors. Decisions on that micro a nature are really best taken locally. So of course people say different things in different parts of the country. And it's possible that sometimes that is done for narrow political benefit not out of principle (but not by us naturally!) Support for fortnightly collections has become almost a doctrinal belief point among some people. Though I speak in an area which has weekly collections of both waste and recyclables so maybe I'm lucky :-) Cheltenham Robin – I think you misunderstood my point.

If you have once a fortnight, isn't there a health risk (or at least a nasty stench) from rotting material?

After all, you can legitimately have party differences, between party members, but for one party member to have differences with himself depending on who he is talking to? There is a word for that. Non Liberal Democrats know what it is.

Fortnightly bin collections have to be the way forward with increased support for recycling. Unfortunately, the majority of the public won't stomach this and whoever is in control, Tory Lab, Lib Dem will take a hammering in the press and at the polls. Good poiny Hywel.
