THE Labour opposition at the Town Hall is remarkably ill informed.

They want the council to bin' its closed lid policy, which was put in place while they were running the council.

When wheeled bins were first introduced all households received a leaflet explaining that the bin lid had to be closed.

The grounds for the policy are health and safety.

It is worrying that Clr O'Neill, who, under Labour, was responsible for the town's environment services, appears not to have known about the council's bin policy.

It suggests he either has a very short memory or he was not paying attention to the department under his care.
