Councillor­s’ time is up!

-

The public getting what the public doesn’t want seems to be a running theme with South Ayrshire Council. Last week, we had the Riverside“car showroom”being approved despite noone actually liking it, no-one really wanting it and against all the rules of the Council’s own Local Developmen­t Plan.

This week, we learn the SAC’s refuse dumps are going to be“by appointmen­t”. You can go online – or book by telephone – and they’ll give you a time to drop off that knackered old fridge or busted lawnmower.

It seems that the current scheme – go when it suits YOU – just doesn’t suit THEM anymore!

It’s utter madness. Those who can’t get a suitable time – or just can’t be bothered – will dump their stuff at a quiet spot in shadow of the night.

It’s called‘fly-tipping’.

Every local authority in the UK is desperatel­y trying to inhibit it.

Yes, here in South Ayrshire . . .we’re now actively encouragin­g it! Breaking news!

You can now get an appointmen­t to dump your local councillor­s.

It’s Thursday, May 5 2022.

Save the date!
