A Donnington resident has taken his fight to top.

Like many residents, Graham Williamson is not happy with by weekly waste collections and has originated a petition

The following petition has been place on the Number Ten Petition site:

"We demand that weekly bin collections are returned to their weekly collection as it is totally unacceptable the amount of refuse being left on our doorsteps contravenes not only Environmental Health Issues, but that of Health and Safety. We also require that a proper recycling initiative is also put in place and stop using the excuse "that all plastics cannot be recycled" as this usually means they won't pick up any plastics. We also feel that more education concerning recycling should be made widely available as the current situation is unacceptable."

This petition has been raised as The conservative Administration introduce New Charges for the collection of Bulk Waste at the cost of £15 and is clearly a flawed policy.

Residents are experiencing additional difficulties as the council is becoming more tyrant like and will not empty bins if the lid is open more than an inche.

As the borough approaches warmer weather it is likely that the return of maggots will be seen and after the introduction of bulk waste charges, an increase of fly tipping will be identified.
