IT is not that long ago we read of a new fleet of purpose-built Land Rovers for parish stewards to drive. Presumably these were sold off when that initiative ceased.
Prior to that I recall an auction at Devizes depot disposing of highway maintenance plant and equipment.
Now we council tax payers are to be treated to a new fleet of specially equipped Ford pick-ups for parish stewards to drive.
Saving money?
In my village we see six different refuse vehicles: household, garden, bottles/papers/tins, plastic/cardboard, large commercial and small commercial.
Saving me money?
