I AM extremely angered by the council's new rules not to collect rubbish bins with the lids up.

I do understand the health and safety issues but then surely the council should supply bigger bins to the homes that need them.

All that will happen is that Warrington will become an even bigger fly-tipping town.

There is no way in this heat that I will load smelly rubbish into my vehicle, which I have to use for my 17-week-old daughter. Get real.

I would love to recycle more, but yet again the nearest recycling centre to me is two miles down the road and loading up my vehicle with glass is a greater safety issue, especially with a baby on board.

Provide us with glass/can recycling bins and I will gladly use them.

Paula Darlington should have given us all plenty of notice of this stupid rule coming into effect to stop the bin men taking all the flak that she should be receiving.

I'm sure Paula would not fill her vehicle with smelly nappies, so why should I?

Also, when is Birchwood Town Council going to start maintaining the service strips outside the homes on our estate?

We pay the highest council tax in Warrington so let us see something for it.
