Both myself and Conservative colleagues have queried the provisions for people with little space (the problem is most acute for terraced houses and flats) and also for those with limited mobility. We have been assured that everything is in place - the Council have a team of "waste awareness officers" to deal with these sort of queries - but I am very concerned that local residents will not have confidence in the new system if the Council cannot empty the current green waste bins properly.

I assume that these new bins are the same size as the existing bins, which implies someone is expecting our waste-output to double! Is there an option to have these new bins in a smaller size I wonder? I’d take an educated guess that space to store them will be a major issue with lots of people (and me to).
