Obviously the local council are too soft and should contract the services out so they have to work all bank holidays except Xmas day, Boxing Day and Easter Sunday and do missed collections for free.

BTW in some areas the refuse truck drivers are responsible for clearing snow as well so it's a bit hard to collect rubbish if you haven't got a driver.Last edited by SueEllen; 3 January 2011, 14:51.

even the very slightest risk and the system grinds to a halt.

Originally posted by gingerjedi View PostOurs is still on the drive 3 weeks after it was due to be collected, is it just Somerset or is this typical? We've now got 3-4 times the usual amount so I cant see how they're ever going to catch up?
Funny how the supermarket delivery vans made it up the slight incline in all weathers but council contract workers didn't even bother to try.
Apparently "Health and Safety" rules stopped them collecting in the snow and ice.
