Should council workers be snooping in our gardens?

Council officers in Lancashire have been assigned to snoop in residents’ back gardens, looking at how many wheelie bins they have, and taking away any ‘unauthorised’ refuse containers.

Officers were seen propping ladders against garden fences to peer into residents’ gardens. Do you think this is going too far? Share your thoughts.

    No they shouldn't and they shouldn't be wasting any more of our money either.
    Maybe we should start surcharging them and charging the with misfeasance and they might realise who they work for.
    The services go down and down and the cost goes up and up.
    Pompous politicians need bringing down to earth and quickly and that goes for the lot in Westminster as well.
    They have ruined the country I love and they should be made to pay for it.
