Today's Daily Mail admits that the Tories appear to have lost the battle to re-introduce weekly refuse collections with the headline "No return to weekly bin rounds".After coming to power last may, the Coalition demanded the reinstatement of weekly services. Indeed Eric Pickles declared: "It's a basic right for every Englishman and woman to be able to put the remants of their chicken tikka masal in their bin without have to wait 2 weeks for it to be collected."
So the climb-down on this issue is another U-turn to add to the many of the Coalition promises abandoned since they came to power over a year ago.
