Part of 1. 1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Environment and Rural Affairs – in the Senedd at 1:30 pm on 14 September 2016.
Thank you very much. Next month, my local authority on Anglesey is moving to three-weekly rubbish collections, having decided against four-weekly collections for now. In August, all but three local authorities met their targets for recycling, which is very good—I mean, that’s a good achievement—including all of the north Wales authorities. In Anglesey’s case, we also met that target. We did that whilst collecting every fortnight. Can you people explain to the people of Anglesey why it is that we are now going to be moving on to three-weekly collections, which feels to me a bit like punishing people who have actually achieved what they set out to achieve?
