I was both shocked and surprised to receive in the post a leaflet from Enfield Council telling me that with effect from July 11 my area would be provided with three wheelie bins and that weekly collections would continue.

The cost of these bins must be astronomical and in the present economic climate seems to be a crazy decision.

I am sure that if the occupants of this huge estate had been asked, they would most certainly have said they are happy with the present arrangements.

It is not too late for the council to change its mind.
