and the same day: [url=http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/2019f466-faea-11de-94d8-00144feab49a.html?nclick_check=1Here[/url

That's to do with online savings accounts in Icesave, not the council's investments via Landsbanki.

Peoples bins been emptied yet? Resorted to taking ours to the tip, still no collection (this is our designated day). Not a collection for nearly a month now.

Fortunately ours got done last Friday. The next street however has not.

Probably the same story with me.
Unsure whether to dump it at the end of the garage type bit we have to leave our bins at (as its unsafe for binmen to come down but safe for a couple of pensioners to take their bins up), or keep taking the bags that are building up to the tip.

lucky you - ours was emptied on Tuesday - after 5 weeks

Mine got emptied this morning yet those across the road got theirs done yesterday when they are usually done after ours.

The one thing that got me though was that our lovely council sent out a message saying recycling bins wouldn't return to normal collection dates till the end of the month but would be emptied along with the grey bins, so being someone who spends a lot of time seperating items for their respective bins i find this wrong. It's not as if the items in a recycling bin are decomposing, foul smelling and a health hazard, so I really can't see peoples eagerness to get these emptied too it's not like we have to wait over a month like we would've done last year as we've just gone to fortnightly collections for both bins!

Still waiting for ours to be emptied. The last time was before Xmas so i've had to make a few trips to the tip over the last few weeks.

The streets are beginning to smell. It's gone beyond silly now.

Our green bin hasn't been emptied for 6 weeks our black bin for 5. But on the plus side they emptied our bottle box last week.

Just been thinking my grey bin has actually been emptied twice this year so I must be one of the lucky ones, as it was emptied on the tuesday morning prior to the main snowfall on the 5th. Glass box and Green bins haven't though, but I can wait for those as the glass one isn't very full and I have two green bins!

Bins went this morning round ours. Green bin truck followed two minutes later by grey

Make that 7 weeks for the green bin and 6 for the black.

It is supposed to be our day and neither came.

Are's got emptied this afternoon

, the first time since the 10th december.

Yeah, that'll be me holding them to ransom

Put a good word in for me then.

Our bins were emptied today, 1st time for 3 weeks and both black and green were emptied into the same wagon. So much for recycling....

oh well -it were dangerous re cycling on ice!

I notice that the number of senior managers in Kirklees Council is to be reduced by 30% www.examiner.co.uk/news/local-we ... -25740005/ Wonder what kind of redundancy packages will be offered. They will have to be fairly handsome.

You can't buy this level of pointlessness.

24hours a day / 7 days a week. It will save 20 buses and hour 2 minutes. How much will it ADD to drivers using that router? "The money is from Central Government - we have to spend it or give it back" so they are spending it on 600 pointless metres of white paint at a cost of £15.83 per centimetre!

Ah, but this also this includes the money required to install an "intelligent" traffic light system to control the congestion the bus lane causes

£950 a week and I`ll stand there wi different coloured lights -and buy mi own batteries!!



wot a saving!!
