Save the trees... + Bishopbriggs pollution on the increase.

18 A4 sheets, 3 envelopes, 90p postage...

East Dunbartonshire Council are striving to increase community recycling... that's the reason your bin may not be emptied as often...

Why then did I receive three letters all addressed identically and containing the exact same information?

Eighteen sheets of A4 paper, three envelopes, 90p postage, triplicating what could have been sent only once (mail merge?).

The headteacher and staff are doing a great job I would like to thank them.
It's great that parents are being informed on the progress made with the amalgamation and timetable.


But why three copies? Are the council trying to fill the recycling bins faster?

On a similar note, air pollution in Bishopbriggs is rising...

Air pollution is believed to kill more than 2,000 people in Scotland ever year, while nitrogen dioxide from car exhausts can damage lungs and increase the risk of asthma in children.

Bishopbriggs was also ordered to improve its air quality after raw figures showed nitrogen dioxide concentrations have soared by up to 9mg/m3 in some parts of the town.


More from Scotland on Sunday

The council decided to site the new school where it's more difficult to get to by public transport.

Another winner for the council?

I got five...

What a waste of paper, postage and resources.

This council are a joke, they want us all to cut down on waste then send use loads!

Hopefully next May we can cut out their waste!
