And time for a minor rant regarding weekly v fortnightly rubbish collections. I fail to see the big deal about reverting to weekly collections. From my rather poor recollection and research, once a bi-weekly service has bedded in people are generally content with it. In Gosport, we have alternate recycling/waste collections and this works very well. And it should work anywhere provided the council provides proper bins rather than depending on black bin bags or small boxes for recycling.
The £250million that Pickles and ConDems are allocating to to councils has to come from somewhere and in this period of cutbacks one wonders why such a trivial thing is being afforded such expenditure, and where this money comes from. The money would be much better spent elsewhere (clichéd I know) and I for one hope that Gosport Borough Council retains its current service.
