I couldnt help but notice that during the warmer months of this year, people were complaining repeatedly about the fact our dustbins only get emptied once a fortnight. Why were they complaining? Because maggots were appearing in bins all across the borough!
Of course, the local council would have us believe that recycling is a great idea and that it will save the planet and we all live happily ever after. To a point, I agree. Recycling is a fantastic idea and we should all do our bit to contribute, but not at the expense of our health. If maggots are lying around in our dustbins, then its hardly hygienic is it? So why do they insist on emptying the dustbins once a fortnight when this clearly isnt sufficient during warmer months?

What starts out as a small job always seems to turn into mission impossible. What began as a 5 hour job, turned into over 10 weeks. Yes, thats correct TEN WEEKS!… and it still hasnt been fully resolved.
This story reads like a book of excuses, arrogance, ignorance and one person not communicating with another person correctly. The left hand truly doesnt know what the right hand is doing.

The cemetery in Badger Ave, Crewe, is a lovely resting place. Almost like a park in fact. The grass in neatly mown, the paths are clean and safe, the headstones are all upright and those that are not, are laid down to ensure public safety at all times. Sounds lovely doesnt it? The kind of place we would all like to be laid to rest.
So, what about St Michaels Churchyard, also in Crewe?

Having sat on Earle Street in Crewe on Thursday lunchtime, I was amazed to see Britannia go riding past me. After doing a double-take I realised it must have been on its way back to its place of rest. However, the place where people believe she should be laid to rest varies.

It came to my attention recently that our local council, Crewe & Nantwhich Borough Council, has been placing bugs on our wheelie bins. Ok, sounds quite scary doesnt it? However, dont panic yet… at least for a while. These bugs were placed into our rubbish bins without our consent or knowledge and is a direct breach of our privacy. Afterall, as tax payers, those wheelie bins belong to US not THEM.
