MADAM, I was most interested to read in last week's Ross Gazette the article regarding the scrapping of the supply of black bin bags to every household.

As I pay in excess of £1850 a year in Council Tax, I would have thought that the supply of one thin black plastic bag would not be too much to expect. If the council wants to save money I suggest they look at the allowances and expenses of the local and county councillors.
