by Doretta
Mike Wall MP (Labour, Weaver Vale) on the 22nd July 2004, raised the question of fortnightly collections in the House of Commons:
"He said the response to Vale Royal's consultation exercise, asking people whether they would be willing to take part in a kerbside recycling scheme, was an overwhelming 'yes' "
"He continued: 'However, the local authority did not clearly spell out - it was mentioned only in the small print - that the ordinary domestic refuse collection would be reduced from a weekly collection to a fortnightly one.' "
"There is uproar in my constituency about the decision."
