Rats and maggots will rejoice at fortnightly bin collections says MP

Warrington North MP HELEN JONES has criticised the LibDem/Tory council for their latest statement that fortnightly refuse collections are ‘inevitable’.  The MP who has received many complaints about the flat lid policy said:

“ This latest announcement adds to the mounting chaos surrounding refuse collection services since the LibDem/Tory alliance took control of the council. Already bins are being left unemptied and rats have been sighted in a number of areas due to the build up of uncollected rubbish. Maggots have even been reported in some bins. The environmental and health implications are obvious. “ LibDem councillors say that they are not to blame but frankly the bins were collected without any of the current problems before they took control. “ Instead of admitting that the policy is not working the new council leadership are talking about reducing the service to fortnightly collections. The rats and maggots must be rejoicing at this madness. “
