THE first fall of snow meant there was no wheelie bin collection although the roads were perfectly usable.

I was informed that there would be no collection at all during the week.

There was, of course, no collection between Christmas and New Year, despite the promise that bins would be emptied as normal during holiday periods. Now we have another fortnight of overflowing bins creating a health hazard.

When will we get the service we pay for through our ever increasing Community Tax? Even an apology would have been something.
