Hundreds of people have signed a petition calling for the scrapping of a controversial green bin charge coming to Liverpool.
From next month, Liverpool Council will charge residents £40 a year to have their garden waste collected in a bid to raise around £1.7m a year as the local authority looks to protect frontline services. The new charge has proved deeply divisive and the council faced a barrage of criticism and questions on its social media pages after it was approved by its full council earlier this month.
Now a petition has been launched in a bid to scrap what it calls “the green bin tax.” Started by Kevin Robinson-Hale, the online petition has garnered more than 500 signatures opposing the charge.
