Bins collection system still rubbish

IT IS some weeks now since Argyll and Bute Council stated that the failing waste collection system was ‘ back on track’. I bet the council spokesperson regrets saying that now.

As we have continued to report for months now, the three-weekly bins uplift has continued to be a problem, with many residents no longer aware of when – or if – their bins will be emptied.

Now we have the added problem of infestations of rats in a number of residential areas, with many people contacting us at The Oban Times to tell of this growing menace.

When will the council bite the bullet and admit it has got this one wrong?
