In an extraordinary claim, two Epsom based Conservative Surrey County Councillors stated in a political leaflet distributed to residents in November that the long queues to access SCC’s Community Recycling Centre were not the fault of SCC at all but of Epsom and Ewell Borough Council’s weekly recycling service and the Borough’s residents who were not filling up their bins, but taking material to the CRC!
The fact that they have shut the CRC for two days of the week, Tuesday and Wednesday and Epsom and Ewell residents recycle a great deal at home and use the CRC for bulky waste, white goods, DIY material and excess green waste, for example, seems to have been lost on them.
However, it is sad to see such an extraordinary comment issued as fact, and makes you wonder what else in their leaflets need checking!
