In their budget for the coming year, Tory-controlled Mole Valley District Council decided to cancel the trial collection service for food waste. This service has been very popular with residents in Bookham and Fetcham. They have been supporting a petition organised by local Liberal Democrats to retain the service. Liberal Democrat campaigner Martin Joseph says: "This service helped our recycling campaign and addressed the problems of smelly bins that some residents had in the Summer. We should be extending the scope of such services, rather than abandoning them."
