| I can't help thinking this is an Ealing Council procurement problem, and therefore a regime problem. I.e. they've put the contract out to tender and chosen a contract award and start date without taking advice from the companies shortlisted what lead times they would need to make the capital investment in kerbside recycling vehicles in time for the start of the service. And /or the council has been slow on its feet making budget decisions (like they dont know roughly how much to budget for recycling collections by now!) and it's the service start stage that gets squeezed as a result. As such the company that wins hasn't acquired the correct trucks in time; and they / the council / we as tax payers are footing the bill for hiring the bright sparkly new looking old style trucks in use for just a few months. And, if you think that every 3rd or 4th council in the country is also changing up its refuse recycling supplier at the same time of year - there must be a refuse vehicle hire company (or two) making a serious amount of money meeting the demand for renting out these vehicles for just a few months a year. Second, it seems to me that the so called cost saving the council is making - and celebrating - is due to the reduced level of service being provided and introduction of additional charges. Ie 2 trucks each week instead of 3, and the garden waste collections now fortnightly and lower volume (at least for the moment) since the introduction of the extra annual charge. And I dont suppose they've off set the extra costs associated with fly-tipping and refuse collection centres receiving waste direct when calculating and publicising this saving. So it's a less efficient, reduced level of service than before, a higher financial and ecological cost (less recycling and more car trips to tips), provides for a more threatening dirty environment (flytipping waste I've seen), using equipment no longer geared to the work and very possibly fewer people being employed - which is just what the London economy needs right now. Sorry if I am overlapping on points raised elsewhere on this forum. |
