OH dear, here we go again, "Big Brother bins are coming", (The Watford Observer, Friday, October 12) another brilliant idea from the Anne Shaw brigade. Not only totally useless but fitted with micro chips, no less.
I suppose it hasn't occurred to her that the weight of rubbish can actually differ from week to week from the same household and what will it prove anyway, you cannot force people to recycle if they are not interested, and how much is it all going to cost?
Three Rivers seem to have an obsession about being the "first".
The infamous call centre is a good example. Nearly two years old and you still cannot get anyone to answer the telephone. That was another first wasn't it?
How is this wheelie bin idea going to work in blocks of flats or with a house with elderly people in it? Do they think anything through?
Why don't they concentrate on staffing their offices properly?
Every time I go in to the Rickmansworth office to pay rent etc there is always a queue, because although there are four desks and a special one for benefit people there are never more than two staff.
