@flo yes it is.
it's a bit like tetra paks and aluminum foil recycling, sometimes it's there, sometimes it's not @DEEDOODLE
is this the bit up to lanherne @ZIGGY ? what are they doing there. an awful lot of concrete has been poured for what looks like little happening! agree, don't think it's going to be finished any time soon.
I think it's still got a way to go yet.
Signs posted in sandy lane recycling states that if you leave recycling outside of the container (because its full) then this will be treated as fly tipping and if caught you will be prosecuted. It states that you should take it to another recycling point and also phone the council to report that the container is full. Why not ask the council employee who collects the money from the parking ...
There is also a once a week kerbside collection service (or at least there is where I live).
We are going off subject but might I suggest that what will be and what will not be deemed to be good/bad deals in any upcoming negotiations will be in the eye of the beholders.
Ultimately ministers are responsible for signing off the agreements, if they allowed civil servants to negotiate such poor deals that have cost the taxpayer billions then it reflects on them. And I really don't think the government will be able hide behind or blame civil servants for any bad deals in the upcoming negotiations, the buck will stop at No 10.
So, no hope for the NHS then? (and I've just been reading some other Telegraph articles on PFI. Seems the finger of blame for the PFI mess could get pointed in the direction of Whitehall civil servants whose skills and experience in negotiating deals with the private sector might just have left a lot to be desired). Do so hope those civil servant negotiating skills have been honed up ...
When it comes to PFI, there is no getting out of it. The taxpayer is obliged to fund the billions for several decades until the agreements expire.
