Taxpayers’ Alliance: Lack of weekly bin collections causes misery to residents

Matthew Elliott, Taxpayers' Alliance chief executive, says that weekly rubbish collection is hugely important to ordinary taxpayers:

"Rubbish collection may not be seen as a sexy issue to the chattering classes in London, but it is of great concern to ordinary hardworking taxpayers.

"Woe betide the councils who do not reinstate weekly bin collections or who persist with plans to scrap this basic service, causing misery to residents."
