NOW that the Lib-Dems have had their come-uppance, it is time to call a halt to their costly policy of increasing recycling.

We have already had enough of this expensive farce and Dorset suffers more than most counties.

I read that recyclables have to be taken to Kent for processing, at God knows what cost in fuel and labour. Bournemouth is plagued with unsightly, plastic receptacles for this, that and the other; the last thing that is needed in a town which has to present a smart image to visitors.
