The start of another year and at least some improvement in the recycling service offered by our borough council as they continue to bring flats on-stream with the new collection service for plastics and cardboard. Each week we will be posting a "tip of the week", starting off with some fairly obvious strategies but moving on to some of the most inventive recycling done by our councillors, members and supporters. Let your local councillor know of any interesting ways of recycling which you think could be publicised more widely.

"I hate to say it, but only one party leader seems to have grasped that, if you construct a system where unskilled people are worse off by taking a job than by staying on welfare, they remain trapped in poverty - and that is Nick Clegg. "
Lord Norman Tebbit
Daily Telegraph online - 13 Jan
"It's unbelievable that the Tories are still planning to cut taxes for a handful of millionaires when the majority of people across the country are feeling the squeeze. We need fair tax cuts that put money back in the pockets of ordinary people. The Tory sums simply do not stack up. It is irresponsible and highly misleading for George Osborne to continue to pretend that they do. "
