I hope Benyon ignores this pressure to charge for supermarket bags; we have quite enough of Govn't telling us what to do already.
Weekly bin collections were removed with no democratic mandate, and WBC have decided to not participate in the funding by central govn't to enable Councils to return to weekly collections. The so called limited survey on issue was underhand/ no way representative. Our local Cllr for the Downlands didn't even know when it was discussed in Council; I managed to dig out, and surprise, surprise the Councillor wasn't at the meeting.
Inefficient wind turbines bleated about by Greenies cost us all hundreds of pounds in extra energy costs, and will only increase ever further under Blair/Camerloons committment to ridiculous emission targets.
All our supermarket bags are recycled anyway, so we'd still use them regardless.
All these carbon taxes are slowly smothering UK industry, especially large energy users; these will simply decant elsewhere to countries who don't lumber their economies with green taxes/ ignore EU rules. So employment & tax take for UK plc reduces permanently, causing further damage to our balance of payments.
