Once again we the taxpayers of Shepway are having to pay the price because of the incompetence of this council.

The money wasted on the purchase of ridiculously over-priced refuse lorries was just the beginning.

I know of people that have been on a waiting list of over a year to get a 'green' bin and it is now quite obvious why they have been waiting all this time.

The introduction of this charge will not only increase more unwanted fly-tipping but some people may try and burn there garden waste and this could lead to neighbourly disputes, police being called etc etc.

Perhaps Billy Smarts could come in and run our local amenities, I doubt we would notice the difference except Billy Smarts would at least make you laugh unlike SDC who are just laughable.

Having read the letters received about the charges for 'green' waste, I see that if no contact is made by April then it will be assumed that we don't want the service. So I'll just continue to use my bin until it is taken away.

What then? Garden waste can go in my normal bin. Some of it will be burned (and many friends and neighbours state that they will take to burning their garden waste too - so prepare for the clouds of smoke everyone!), and excess I'll take to the tip myself.

Until we all start getting charged to make deposits at the tip. That's the next thing on the agenda. Mark my words.
