This Labour Council are considering implementing a £35 charge for Garden Waste Collections.
We are launching the #AxetheTax campaign so we all have a chance to hold Labour accountable for their actions.
Councillor David Fisher, the Leader of the Sandwell Conservatives, has outlined that "This Green Tax will add further stress and anxiety to those already struggling to pay bills and put food on their table. We may also see people not recycling their garden waste which is a step in the wrong direction. We are urging the Labour party to reconsider as family’s financial circumstances, should not be a barrier to them trying to help the planet by recycling. As a Borough we should actively encourage recycling as we strive for a greener Sandwell. This policy is doing exactly the opposite of that.”
Sign our petition to prevent Sandwell Labour forcing residents to pay their Green Tax.
