Further to the announcement that green wheelie-bins are to be issued to a large number of Basildon households for the fortnightly collection of garden waste, Ray McKay, council spokesman confirmed it had received some complaints from residents in flats about being given a bin.
He said: "We would ask anyone who finds they have a bin they don't need to call our Streetcare team and get it taken away."
Indeed, the council has been heavily criticised for wasting public money. Certainly there has been a waste, but that has surely been in terms of the effort of distributing bins to people in flats who have no gardens and therefore no need of the bins. It was a matter of poorly administered distribution that has rightly caused some embarrassment.
