Questions to Council:

Councillor Watson to ask the Lead Councillor for Environment and Sustainability:

Would the Lead Councillor for the Environment please update me on the recycling and waste collection operations over the Christmas and the New Year period?

Reply by Councillor Gittings (Lead Councillor for Environment and Sustainability):

The councillor for Minster is well aware that the recycling bin was put out by me for collection on the allotted date, but it was missed because I couldn't find my 'Your Reading' card with the revised holiday collection dates because someone had hidden it in the kitchen drawer. It is also every householder's responsibility to put out the bins, not just mine.

And yes, I will be taking the christmas tree down to the Civic Amenity site at some point. Give me a break!
