28/03/2023 Test Valley's new recycling scheme By Cllr Nick Adams-King

Royal Mail have been delivering an election leaflet this week. It includes this article about TVBC recycling.

It is entirely untrue.

You will, from next year, be able to recycle pots, tubs, trays, plastic wrapping, cartons and tetrapaks in your bin. All this a year ahead of any other Hampshire authority.

We will also be collecting your food waste weekly. The Government is not forcing TVBC to improve.

Indeed, next week we are introducing plans to set the money aside to pay for the new bins and caddies (almost 175,000 of them in total), new bin lorries to collect the food recycling and pay for their distribution to your door.

The fact that one of our parties feels it necessary to make stories up is why people get so sick of politics.

Clearly persuading people to vote for them is more important than telling people the truth. 🙄

May be an image of text that says "get this sorted! Recycling Test Valley Borough Council is really low down on the league table of waste recycling. It has waited until the Government forced them to improve. Now, delays in the provision of a County waste sorting facility are being used to delay improved recycling until 2025. We will commit to a 2024 start date, even if that means temporarily using facilities outside of Hampshire to get this done! the first action to try"
