THE Vale Council is having a laugh at our expense. They put the rates up and then want to charge for kitchen bin bags, dog bags and for taking large items from houses.

They stopped giving black bags, gave us more bins to fill, hence we do all the work and have to pay for the privilege. There's something wrong with this.

More fly tipping on the horizon with rubbish and dog fowling on the streets.

Another short sighted move from our Council, no wonder the Assembly wants to get rid of them.
