It's official: Council policies a load of rubbish.....

Revealing piece in the the Telegraph today about councils up and down the country imposing draconian fines of up to £1,000 for people contravening the regulations on household waste. The Tory Government intends to clamp down on councils imposing fines for such petty offences calling some of the charges "immoral." Apparently some naughty people have been daring to put out extra black plastic sacks next to their wheelie bins. Tut tut smack on wrists! The council officials are being referred to as the "Bin Police" or, in at least one case, the "Rubbish Gestapo." Is this fair? Are these just the most extreme of cases? Has anyone in Tonbridge been the victim of such over zealous enforcement?
