From Cllr. Alan Poole (Labour Shadow Cabinet Member for Environmental Services).
The Thanet refuse collection saga continues with large amounts of recyclables remaining uncollected. After nearly four weeks without a ‘blue bin’ collection many residents have been forced to make trips to the dump. This is not acceptable service from our supposedly ‘environmentally friendly’ council.
I am informed that a recent meeting of Parish Council Representatives was told TDC that the Refuse Collection and Street Cleaning budgets could well be slashed. Such cuts to the budget would be totally unacceptable as this basic council service is certainly not ‘fit for purpose’ as the Christmas collection fiasco clearly demonstrated.
What is Cllr Shirley Tomlinson, Cabinet Member with responsibility for Refuse Collection doing about this appalling state of affairs? She appears to be filling much of her time substituting on the TDC Planning Committee!

Note: I am also receiving complaints about the large amount of dog mess now appearing on our pavements. It appears that some inconsiderate dog owners have taken advantage of the snowy conditions to allow their dogs to mess in the snow, the mess only being revealed as the snow melts.
