Is it just the Shadsworth area that has been invaded by a large number of people knocking on doors asking if we have any scrap metal?

Could it have something to do with the council charging to take away rubbish?

One morning last week, at about 7am, one of these vans came past blaring out music, and this morning at 7.20am two young men knocked on my door.

In a similar vein, it was bad enough when Royal Mail brought all the junk mail with them for delivery.

Now we are invaded with it at all hours of the day, from first thing in the morning, until late at night. Is there no respite?
