This is the first time I have read the comments made by Paul of Berrylands but I feel very strongly about this problem. It will be a problem. His Im alright Jack attitude stinks as much as this so called improved waste scheme stinks. He is obviously young and fit and living in a house where he has lots of room to keep all the extra containers. Good for him but not everyone in the borough is the same. Lets think of others for a moment. Can you see any older person maybe not so agile and living in a flat with steep stairs carrying a 5 ltr bin of waste food down to an outside bin.
Some elderly people are at risk of injury cause by old and faulty electric blankets. For the last decade Kingston Trading Standards has run an annual free electric blanket testing day. This year’ testing day has just been announced.
The checks are being carried out on Wednesday 10 September 2008 and priority will be given to older residents and those who have not had blankets tested before.
Sunrise Senior Living have launched another appeal against RBK’s refusal of planning permission for the Cumbrae/ Oakdene/ 1 Langley Avenue site. As last time this appeal will take the form of a public inquiry, probably lasting three or four days.
