Since when have council tax charges been made on the basis of individual needs? Applying that argument, then households with a number of residents should pay more for their black bin to be emptied because they generate more waste for landfill than a single resident household. Perhaps residents who live on high ground should not pay for flood defences as it does not affect them. It is a ridiculous and unfair plan to charge more for green bins. The cost should be part of the Council Tax for all. Martin Carter Main Street, Iden
