Southampton's twin-bin scheme may be scrapped (Daily Echo 23/09/04)
by Doretta
Reported today that Southampton City Council has scrapped its' controversial fortnightly rubbish scheme - at least for the time being.
Labour and Conservative councillors joined forces to restore weekly bin rounds across the whole city - in addition to a fortnightly collection of recyclable waste.
Another meeting will be held in 10 days time to give the ruling Liberal Democrats one last chance to try and persuade their opponents to reconsider. If councillors vote again to bring back weekly rubbish collections, the decision will be final.
