Weekly or fortnightly, that is the question

Close the the centre of Oxford residents have continually been up in arms about the change from weekly to fortnightly collections (or to be more precise alternate weekly). Whether people are recycling efficiently enough or whether such a thing will save them from rats is not an issue when you have sufficient land to store a range of wheelie bins, but in some parts of Oxford space is at a premium. Anyway a year on from the change residents are still battling for solutions as demonstrated by this thread on the Oxford Mail website - recycling one year on. In fact another entry starts by implying all is good, when in fact the opposite seems to be still the case for at least some. Much as I for one love the new system, I feel that more needs to be done for those in confined neighbourhoods.
