I FEEL I need to complain about Wyre Forest District Council's refuse department.

During the hot weather I went to my wheelie bin, which is only emptied once a fortnight.

On opening the lid I found maggots inside.

Being a mother of two young children, this worried me, so I telephoned the refuse department and their reply was that it was not their problem, and they could not do anything.

Why are we paying Council Tax?

I recycle a lost of refuse as requested by the council, but in my opinion, this fortnightly collection is not adequate.
