So once again I have spoken with senior management about Labour’s horrendous waste of money managing our waste tips. We still have no booking system – which we were told would be in place by May (despite us asking for this last year).

I’m convinced that the council could return the tips to a more normal way of operating without safety risks, but they insist government rules forbid it. I’m not convinced that they are interpreting the rules correctly. Whatever the solution it certainly can’t be to continue to waste £1068 a day having someone say in a van at Pity Me and an amount which must now be approaching £1.5 million just on traffic management for our tips.

This issue needs addressing now. Too much taxpayers money is being wasted by Labour.
