Just a bit. Teachers did a similar thing by kicking a fuss up about opening schools up during the spring, but didn't protest much come September..... |

Rubbish collection points have been set up around the city: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-coventry-warwickshire-59816707 I wonder how many people will use them? |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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! |
