Unfortunately, this is an issue of CCCs own making. As usual, the incompetence and shortsighted view of those that we elect is coming back to haunt us.
Unlike many, I always interrogate those soliciting my vote. Most are incapable of posting their own letters!

Both sides have now 'dug in' and we are simply seeing a battle of egos from those at the top. Very sadly, those further down the ladder will pay the price; in this case the council taxpayers and those actually out on strike.

Bear in mind that I spent a large portion of my life in the motor industry...
The money lost will never be recovered. The public will never forget the inconvenience they have been put to.
Strikes are a mug's game, both sides lose. There are always better ways of sorting out disagreements.

My next collection is likely to be about 5 weeks from the previous one. It's not going to cause me problems, but I can't say the same for the families around me.
