IT bewilders me that some people are constantly having a moan about anything and everything.


We need to understand that the local authority have never had a legal requirement to take away garden waste and even if they do start to charge it will be just over a £1 a month.


Big deal – but whatever happened to people having a compost bin or a corner of the garden to put garden waste.


That’s the natural way. It makes brilliant fertiliser.


Why doesn’t last week’s letter writer Citizen Smith and friends try it?

A bit of hard graft is good for the mind and body so why not try it out.

All you whingers please get real as there are poor families having to go to foodbanks and vulnerable children and vulnerable adults that need protecting.

You need to wake up to the fact that our town is being battered by unprecedented government funding cuts.

I live in a real world – you and your friends need to come back down to the real world.

May I add, I am not involved with any political party but I truly care about my home town and my fellow townspeople, especially the vulnerable.
