We all know that we must recycle more and, as other speakers noted earlier, reduce the amount of waste we produce in the first instance. I have been a member of a local authority for a number of years. In the past, the elected representatives on the authority took the decisions necessary, but, over the past ten to 12 years, people have become somewhat reluctant to take the hard decisions that impact upon charges. Small pressure groups often approach elected representatives and urge them to make a particular decision or, in most cases, not to make any decision. That is why the Bill involves granting more power to county managers. Up to a point, local authority members have only themselves to blame for that. However, these powers should not be vested with the county managers but with local authority members. If local authority members do not take the decisions they should take, then it is up to the Minister for the Environment and Local Government to step in, but not in a way that accords him total control.
