OH dear, Stephen Peters - that apologist for the refuse service (Your View/July 5) - seems to have forgotten that as chairman of the refuse recycling task group he presided over the group's decision on which vehicles to buy, and spent much time boasting in press reports and through the letters page of the Advertiser/Messenger about the 'Jewel in the Crown' refuse service.

Changed his tune rather, has he not? Still what else can one expect from another political renegade, who previously was a Tory councillor, then Tory Independant, then WRRP and now UKIP chaiman.
