CLLR David Fowles wrote about the introduction of kerbside plastic recycling last week, the latest addition to a long running service. The real innovation was in the early 1990s when Cotswold District Council became the first rural district council to adopt kerbside recycling. It was introduced in stages across the whole area without massive budget increases. At the time CDC was not controlled by a political party but by independents. The decision was forward thinking and based on common sense not politics.
