Rutland County Council is to review litter bins to cut costs

Rutland County Council is to review litter bins to cut costs.

Oakham Town Council may have agreed to purchase a litter bin, and sited it near to a high street bus stop.

Rutland County Council has said it can not adopt the bin as it can not afford to get it emptied and it is also planning  a reduction of current litter bins.

I wonder how if you employ a person to sweep the pavement does it cost more or less to empty a litter bin?

Can I suggest Rutland County Council start looking at cuts that would effect those in high places.

For example the private hire of  a car and driver for the Chairman of the Council.
