In March
Veolia was handed the contract of rubbish collecting in Sutton to save
£10million, it was thought. But all these contractors are only after to make
big profit; Veolia seems to be no difference.
When will the Tory
Government ever learn; or is there more to it what is not known to the public about still contracting out. After all there has now been too many occasions where
contractors are failing and even committing fraud and at the end costing
hundreds of millions of pounds which proves no savings at all.
Now in
Sutton south-west London the rubbish had not be collected in some areas or from
blogs of flats since March. By now it is piling high and the rats having a
field day.
Council
bosses shrugging their shoulders and blaming Veolia.
Veolia
stated that these addresses are not on their list, in other words, it the
Council’s fault.
People
tried to contact the Council and even Veolia but they either get not reply or can’t
get through by phone and the website did not reply.
The rubbish
piles are getting out of hands and where they are piling up there is also
fly-tipping added to it with even mattresses and fridges.
People and
Mr Johnson are scared it will attract arsonists.
Community
campaigner Richard Johnson, 46, said: “The rubbish hasn’t been touched since
March – there’s been no collection of anything for weeks.”
A spokesman
for Veolia said: “We are working hard with Sutton Council to complete
transition to the new waste and recycling service as quickly as possible.”
Well, with all
consideration of the transit, but the situation exists since March and it does not
show Veolia is working hard. This situation should never come to such an extent
that rubbish is piled high and according to Mr Johnson a reminder of the Winter
of Discontent where rubbish was piled up high along streets in 1978.
