During the recent freezing weather a reasonable refuse service was delivered to Erewash in difficult conditions. Not to say there were no bin collection problems, but this area fared better than some. Those Council's that got in the worst mess were the ones that do a weekly refuse collection, according to the Local Government Association. When Council's were doing their best to keep the service going through snow and ice all the Government could contribute was unfair criticism. What a big help!
Locally Erewash praised staff for their efforts, which is nice. It would be nicer however if they offered these praise worthy staff a job. This Council is hooked on using "Agency" workers instead of their own staff. Some of these praise worthy staff are "Agency" workers who may have worked for Erewash for years without the benefit of being offered a permanent job. If the Council really appreciates it's workers then perhaps they should give them job security not just warm weaselly words.
