As a resident of Forge Close and a council taxpayer, I would like to find out when my rubbish will be collected.

It has been three weeks since we have seen a refuse cart and I have had to take my own rubbish to the tip.

It's hardly surprising the city is full of rats if this is what is to be expected.

On phoning the collection department, I was told I would have to wait until the following week.
