ISSUE: Canterbury City Councils Proposal to Charge Residents for Recycling Sacks.

We the residents of Canterbury/Whitstable/Herne Bay and surrounding rural areas are appalled and dismayed at Canterbury City Council's (CCCs) proposal to charge residents for recycling sacks - if they should happen to use more than 17 sacks in any 3 month period. We demand the Council to drop the idea from their proposed budget cuts immediately as it clearly goes against Agenda 21 and thus sustainable development policy. We also feel the Council must look for an alternative long term sustainable plan with regards to recycling which in the long term reduces the need for petroleum based recycling sacks.
