Petition Action

Stop the 'Garden Tax'!

Additional Information

A new 'Garden Tax' is being brought in by the Conservatives on Mid Devon District Council.

From October this year, garden waste will only be emptied if £50 a year is paid to have it collected. People who do not wish to pay the £50 will either have to compost all of their garden waste or take it to a local recycling centre.

This policy will result in more fly-tipping in our beautiful countryside. Rubbish will be increasingly dumped in gateways and over hedges - we will all see a significant escalation in this anti-social practice in our area thanks to the Conservative’s decision to introduce this extra tax burden.

Please help make the Council think again on this unfair garden tax by signing this petition- for years this has been part of the council's service to you, paid for through the Council Tax.
