Last year, here in Reading, our local Coalition administration identified roads where fortnightly residual waste collections were most problematic primarily due to lack of storage space and/or access problems for bin men.
We announced a consultation of the first batch of roads. As long as the majority of residents in each road wanted a return to weekly collections we were going to provide just that. However in May - with the support of the 2 Green councillors - Labour regained control of the Council and halted the process.
It will be interesting to see whether the Labour minority administration is prepared to listen to those residents wanting a return to weekly collections, particularly in the light of the serious rat infestations the town has suffered from this summer.
