I AM sick and tired of people doing nothing but complaining about the new rubbish collecting and recycling. Is it so hard for them to wait a few weeks while the problems with this new style of collection is ironed out?

The problem with society today is a lack of patience. Everybody knew that it wouldn’t be hunky dory from the very first day. Problems which the planners didn’t account for, need sorting and I am sure that these problems will be sorted given a bit of time.

So why doesn’t Joe Public give the councils time to straighten things out? Yes, this letter does come from someone who has had the necessary bins since just before June 8, and yes, my husband has had to wait on the telephones when making inquiries.

But all in all, we are very pleased with the service, even though it takes a little bit of time to get used to it.

So well done South Oxfordshire District Council, for once you deserve a little praise.
