DEAR EDITOR - In response to Mrs S A Walters' letter regarding refuse collection, no one expects refuse collector to work on any Bank Holiday.

As for her concerns about paying extra council tax, has it not yet sunk in to her that she is already paying extra council tax along with others but not receiving the services.

The rolling collection service worked, but some house-holders are bone idle and too illiterate, so they say, to understand such a simple system.

If she wants to sit back and be discriminated against because of these parasites that is a matter for her, but I - along with others - will no longer tolerate this situation and make no apology to her or anyone else.

Mr K J Breillat,

Chaucer Road,
