YOUR WASTE COLLECTION SERVICE IS CHANGING FROM 3RD OCTOBER 2011

Do you know what the changes are and how they will affect you?

It’s expensive to keep sending rubbish to landfill. Much of what we throw away can be recycled, reused or composted. Brent Council pays a landfill tax at £48/tonne in 2011. This will increase by £8 per tonne until 2014, when it will be £80 per tonne in 2014.

A little more thought about what we throw away could save a lot of money, be better for the economy and the environment. Lets put a stop to this!


Fryent Councillors, helping the Environment.

Churches oppose benefit cuts.

The Head of the Roman Catholic Church in England, the Most Rev Vincent Nichols, Archbishop of Westminster has condemned the coalition Government cuts in welfare benefit, particularly housing benefit. He is concerned that thousands of poor families may be forced out of their homes.

His letter to Ian Duncan Smith MP, reported in the Times,  follows similar concerns raised by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams who recently wrote a quest editorial in the New Statesman. The Churches are particularly anxious about the cuts as they help the worst affected.

Sadly I don’t think anyone in Government is  listening
