YOUR article (Echo Jan 5) regarding the lack of collections in Poole stated Poole is the only authority in Dorset to collect on bank holiday Mondays, wrong!
Purbeck District Council not only collect on all bank holidays, they work between Christmas and New Year. Our bins were emptied on Monday December 27, also during the snow they managed to catch up within a few days and Swanage in particular was very icy.
I have a son who lives in Poole who has had no collection for over three weeks. He has had to make several trips to his tip. Shame on Poole council and well done Purbeck DC.
