Report Back
Residents back ‘clean
and green’ services
PUBLIC satisfaction with recycling and
street cleaning services is on the rise, according to
the results of Watford’s community survey.
The number of people who are satisfied
with street cleaning has gone up by 5% to 62%. The
proportion dissatisfied has gone down 7% to 20%.
On recycling 75% say they are satisfied with the
council’s performance.
HOW IT WAS: In 2002, under Labour,
Watford Borough Council received a formal warning from the government
for lack of progress on recycling.
NOW: Under the Lib Dems, doorstep
recycling collections mean that more than 40 per cent of Watford's
domestic waste is recycled.
Dorothy says: ‘When I was elected,
these were both failing services, for which the previous Labour
administration was rightly criticised. We have
introduced comprehensive recycling collections.
We have also reorganised street cleaning, with more
efficient work practices and more staff time spent
cleaning the streets. This survey shows that people are noticing
the improvements.
