THE one party state that is Bolton Labour council, just does not listen to residents of Bolton.

Whilst not against the proposed water butt scheme, though it only has 1,000 kits to offer the public, my main concern is that the removal of our 240 litre bin, to be replaced by a much smaller 140 litre bin, many households just will not cope.

These are people who fully recycle at present, many residents of Rumworth ward have approach me concerned about this. Smaller bins will increase fly-tipping, thus blighting our environment, and creating health hazards.

Flytipping in Rumworth is already a big problem, and will only be increased, by the smaller bins.

I urge Bolton Council to completely rethink their plans, and drop the smaller bin scheme before it is too late.
