Residents revolt over rubbish service

It is not only Portland that has a problem with the new waste disposal scheme operated by the Dorset Waste Partnership (DWP).
I posted this in the letters section of Dorset Echo, this morning.

The following is the transcript of an "online chat" which I had with DWP last week. The food waste was eventually collected and the bin was left lying on its side with lid open, in the middle of a public drive way.

There will probably be another "online chat" this week as the food waste bin was again not emptied. A new "Report a missed bin collection" reference number has been issued and a complaint has been sent to DWP. They will respond "within 10 days".
If DWP or anyone else thinks that we should have rotting food waste lying around the house, or stored in our garage until they are prepared to collect it, they can think again.

John Yates: Further to yesterdays telephone conversation,(6th November) the food waste bin remains uncollected. Today is Friday, time 14:30 hrs.. Are your collectors aware of the assisted collection point for this address?
***** * (Dorset Direct) Please may I take your address and postcode?
John Yates: * ********* ******* Litton Cheney DT2***
John Yates: reference number is: DWP1****
***** * (Dorset Direct)Okay, the crew have 3 working days to collect this. The crew should be made aware of this however I will attach a note to the case to ask them to check and ensure your on the assisted collections. Can I ask where your agreed collection point is?
John Yates Next to garage. Do they collect on Saturdays? The bin will be at the collection point all weekend. I have already had a telephone conversation with DWP (yesterday afternoon) about this. It should have been taken away on Thursday morning.

***** *(Dorset Direct) Okay crews don't usually work on the weekends, it should be collected either Today, Monday or Tuesday, if it isn't collected by then you can chase this and we can raise it with the depot.
***** *(Dorset Direct) Is there anything else I can help with today?
John Yates We have been on the assisted collection list for more than 12 months and this was confirmed when this new "scheme" was introduced. I shall await developments. Bi Bi

Northern Ireland and Brexit. The return of "The Troubles"

Northern Ireland: police attacked in another night of disturbances | Northern Ireland | The Guardian When the "Brexit" debate was still filling our newspapers and our television screens, readers may remember why I had changed my mind since voting to leave at the referendum vote. Apart from the economic arguments, which had become crystal clear after peeling away all the lies and misrepresentations trotted out by Bozo Boris and his "Get Brexit Done" conspirators, there was always the problem of the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Would it be possible to have a border between the European Union and the United Kingdom where people, goods and services could pass freely between the two nations without customs restrictions, tariffs, duties and all the other formalities? Would it be possible to have one part of the United Kingdom treated differently from other parts of the United Kingdom, particularly when Scotland for example had voted overwhe

The Parliamentary Labour Party conspirators are hatching another coup.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/corbyn-labour-leadership-rebel-mps-a7202641.html Labour MPs plan for Corbyn victory and plot how to confront an emboldened leader Even for the "Independent", the number and use of unnamed anonymous "sources" in this article is quite astonishing. However, amongst all the usual speculative delusion, there is one factor which causes concern to anyone who believes in the Labour Party, its principles and in he democratic process of the Labour movement. It is abundantly clear that elements within the Parliamentary Labour Party, are even now, planning another coup in the event that Jeremy Corbyn should emerge as winner in the current ballot. The failed coup of earlier this year, has now descended into a sham leadership election, because the conspirators still fail to accept the democratic decision of the Labour party membership and cling to

Plemont development or return to nature?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-jersey- A date has been set for a public inquiry into plans for Plemont Headland. This exceptional location must be sold to the National trust for Jersey, and returned to nature. Any other outcome involving development of the site, can only demonstrate the extent to which greed and self interest have become endemic in Jersey.
