At least seven councils have returned to weekly collection. Tony Blair said last week he preferred weekly collection, for what thats worth. What is the difference that makes the scheme work in some areas and not in others? In some areas people feel the council is listening to their concerns and responding, in others that they are in an ivory tower and don't listen to anyone.

Labours vote in Park Dropped from 896 to 810 and the Greens went up from 474 to 688 (more than the Tory who beat you), they wouldn't have asked for your help if they were not really scared of us! I'm glad our member unlucky enough to sit next to you didn't take your bait, have you tried sensible debate rather than wind ups? I don't think telling on the gate is good time to have a row! I notice you didn't mention the assault on the Tory candidate Wasir Hussain, at least he isn't a spiteful thug unlike some of Reading Labour Party! Next election if the same happend Labour will be out of power in Reading. The people of Park chose a real Tory over a pretend neoLabour one. HAHAHAHA!

This to me is generally code for, 'I want to have my cake and eat it' and is a cop out. Sorry. Adrian, I always like the ‘would be a good idea if properly applied with consultation’.

They also misrepresent the Green position on Alternate Weekly Collection, which would be a good idea if properly applied with consultation, but a disaster in areas of Reading where rat populations are increasing. Even Tony Blair came out for weekly collection last week, so some other parties are very confused about this issue. Reading is a town, only Labour people keep mistaking it for a city.
