Thames water shouldn't be getting bailouts and it shouldn't be hiking bills. It should be nationalised. Repost if you agree 👍 www.bigissue.com/news/environ...

Oh, look what normal countries do when a former president leads a far right coup attempt.

Brentwood recycling rates have fallen to only 37%. The council will try reducing black sack collection to just fortnightly, to stop people throwing so much away. How often does your council collect general waste?
