Camden labour annouce a Garden Waste Tax
■ Camden's Labour-run Cabinet voted in July to introduce a shock £75 charge to remove homes' garden waste. Local Conservatives oppose this garden tax and believe core services, like waste collections, should remain free.
The Garden Tax follows similar moves by Labour-run councils in Brent, Harrow, Hounslow, and Croydon. But at £75 for the annual service, it's twice as expensive as neighbouring Brent's.
People that don't pay won't get their waste collected: increasing fly-tipping and possibly reducing the level of care given to gardens.
Camden Conservatives are fighting the Garden Tax by challenging it formally. You can sign our petition at http://refusesurvey.londonconservatives.com
