Black Sack rubbish collection - A new look at Recycling
When the 'black bag' system of waste collection was introduced by the District Council, Liberal Democrats opposed it as wasteful, inefficient and unhygienic.

In the first quarter of the financial year starting in April 15,648 patients had their operations cancelled at short notice. This is a 6.6% increase on the same quarter in the previous year.
