I READ with interest the article about the two binmen who were sacked for removing a few boxes with other rubbish as reported in last week's edition of the Independent (September 30, 1998).

I am disgusted with Enfield Council, they are a penny-pinching bunch.

Rubbish is rubbish no matter what it consists of and should be removed without extra cost to the ratepayers.

I was delighted when Labour got in but never again will I vote for them and as for the sneak council official who betrayed them I wonder what he'll spend his 30 pieces of silver on.
