PERHAPS some of the 42 Labour councillors could try and get the weekly brown bin collection back or explain why it cannot be done.

The amount of rubbish and rats has increased tenfold.

The men do not take the extra bags that are left out as it slows their round down.

We were all told they would. They say they can’t.

They do a very hard job very well but are governed by rules made by people at the top who would not last one day on a round. Most of us are also using the pink bag, black box and blue bag yet still our brown bins overflow.

Why should council taxpayers have to go to the skips and have rats running around their properties?

The amount of rubbish being dumped can be seen around the town adding to the cost.
