Nagel   10 #1 Posted July 24, 2012 I was stunned and amazed by Sheffield City Council today. Yesterday I asked them to trim the lower branches off the trees on our road, today they did it.  The road is lined with Lime trees and they sprout small branches from their trunks low down. Normally the council do it every year, but they missed out last year and they were getting really bushy and blocking the pavement. So I emailed them yesterday and now the job is done.

Â So the great service is that you used to get your trees pruned every year and now it's every 2 years. You'll be really thrilled with the great service you'll get soon. They are going to empty your bin every two weeks instead of every week. How great is that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Â It does sound rather like ringing up the takeaway to tell them your pizza is 2 hours late and then telling everyone how good they were because it arived 15 minutes later.

How great is that?  I think it's a great idea, it will encourage people to recycle more a d take more care exactly what they throw out!! I could live with 4 weekly collections myself, and if there was two of us, 2 weekly would be fine... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
