I WRITE to congratulate Conservative and the one Liberal councillors, and employees of Wyre Forest District Council, who stood outside Kidderminster Town Hall, and took time to explain recycling policies .

It would have been nice if the previous Health Concern administration had bothered to consult in this way. We may all have been saved the misery of this wretched fortnightly collection.

I also congratulate Worcestershire County Council for supporting the event. We found it worthwhile and we hope our council leaders do this sort of thing again. At last we have a district-run council prepared to explain their policies to the people who elected them.
