The last two weeks we have seen no pickups for recycling and the radio has announced the council apologises but we cannot see an end in sight. Great.

We get penalised if our rates are late so how about we now get a rate reduction until this is sorted out? I clearly don't remember being asked if we wanted this service.

The Commissioners that are getting paid exorbitant wages – could you do your job and get some results for the ratepayer? Didn't think so. Let's just keep flogging them with poor performance and no accountability.
