I'm nit physically able to lift the bags of grass clippings and take them to the recycle centre. What am I supposed to do if I don't want to pay the extra charge, which should be included in the council tax already. You are holding to ransoms the sick, old and disabled.

This charge will just encourage people to fly tip and cause even more mess around towns and countryside.

Council tax is capped at a 3% rise. This is a de facto council tax rise over and above that. Allow this and watch for a whole host of other stealth rises.

I already pay a significant amount to the council each month to cover this charge. I also have to pay a monthly charge for grass cutting which many other citizens don't have to pay.
