EACH year our council sees fit to raise the tax and each year we see a cutback in services.

That great British institution, the "bin man", or refuse collection executive to be PC, sees fit to select what he wants to take and leaves the rest on the ground. They lifted out two bags and left them on the ground. Why? Because the lid was not fully closed.

I suppose the next thing will be that they arrive at your house at a predetermined time and you will have to empty your own bin under the supervision of a refuse executive who will then select which items he feels are fit to be disposed of.

Thanks Bury Metro, I look forward to paying more and receiving less in the future. This is one Labour voter who will be voting Lib Dem or not at all on May 2.
