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.

    If we could search the House of Commons Bins then perhaps we could discover what the present Government do,since nobody seems to know?

    I have always had the greatest respect for binmen. Without them we would be in a sorry state. That doesn't mean to say that if one of them makes stupid and vulgar postings that I will not reply. As far as sex toys and books you obviously know far more about that than I do.
    If you have been a bin man for fifteen years I can't think of anything more insular than that. Get a life you sad person.
