IT is the EU who are compelling us to introduce kerbside recycling of glass.

It is not local government on its own.

Once again the bureaucrats in Brussels have caused a problem that did not exist before, when consumers sorted and recycled their glass in the excellent local facilities.

We will have to have wheelie bins as boxes containing glass are too heavy for our hardworking bin men to keep lifting from the ground day after day.
