“they are bit optimistic about the £500,000 income the are expected to receive,in these present times, how many people are going to pay for a service that used to be free.the cost might be increased because people will put it in there black bins,contributing to a increase in land fill.
and probably having to pay fines for that”

“I can't see how raising an extra £500K in tax from a surcharge on a core service is a 'saving'.
"Savings identified also include sharing some services with district councils in West Lindsey and South Kesteven". Now that's the right direction! Extend that to cover all 7 District and the 2 Unitary Authority Councils, administer all services through the County Council and we can do away with the costs of administering 9 councils. That'll be a saving!”
