WITH reference to the promised efficiency drive by Enfield Council I am afraid so far it has not worked in this area.

We had leaflets telling us to put our rubbish out before 7am on Fridays (four days later than usual). The dustmen turned up eventually on Saturday morning after 11am. My husband is wheelchair bound and I had to move the rubbish from our path every time we went out. Bags were smelling because it was a warm weekend and many had been torn open. If this is the new system I would rather they return to the old one.

J.B.JAMES,
