LOCAL MP BACKS CALLS FOR INQUIRY AFTER WASTE COLLECTION SHAMBLES

April 28, 2012 12:25 PM

Stephen Gilbert, the Liberal Democrat MP for mid-Cornwall, has joined calls for an inquiry to be launched into weeks of refuse collection 'mayhem' across Cornwall.

Commenting, Stephen said:

"There are serious questions to be answered over this monumental failure and I'd like to see a full scale inquiry launched into Cornwall Council's gross miss-management of this service since the start of the month.

"There's simply no excuse for leaving waste festering on street corners for weeks on end and forcing local people to wait for more than an hour on helplines to report missed collections. It's unsafe, unhealthy and is no way to treat the people that councillors are elected to serve."

    If you are a resident of the St Austell and Newquay constituency and are writing to discuss any issue that Parliament or government is responsible for, you must provide your home address as MPs are generally only permitted to act on behalf of constituents.

    If you are not a constituent, you do not need to provide your address, but the matters we can deal with are more limited and you may wish to contact your local MP in the first instance.
