Should I get on the bus with green bin?

- Terry Hudson Russell Drive, Swalecliff­e

I was shocked to read that there will be no green bin collection until March [‘Gardeners face trip to the dump after waste collection­s suspended’, Gazette, December 20].

My council-supplied collection chart clearly states that there will be a collection - why were we not informed of the change?

Could they not have arranged to have put some form of warning on the bins: say at the beginning of December?

So what do I do now with all of the waste at the start of the pruning season? Keep wobbling down to the dump on my bicycle with a couple of bags strapped to the handlebars?

Will the bus company allow me to take bags of rubbish on-board; I do not think so!

Surely this council does not want me to use my car and make another of what they like to call, an “unnecessar­y” journey?

How does this fit in with their cycling & walking policy, which they are trying to impose?
