Geoffrey Theobald,<\/strong> is calling on his Labour opposite number, <strong>Cllr.

The strike action has been carrying on for a week with no sign of either the Council or the <strong>GMB<\/strong> backing down.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the local L<strong>abour<\/strong> Group stating that improving the refuse and recycling service will be their number one priority if they take over running the Council in May next year, not one of the Party\u2019s 3 parliamentary candidates, nor their Council Spokesperson on the Environment has issued a public statement on the strike.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7264\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7264\" style=\"width: 186px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-7264\" src=\"https:\/\/the-news.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/100_2469-186x300.jpg\" alt=\"Cllr Geoffrey Theobald\" width=\"186\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/the-news.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/100_2469-186x300.jpg 186w, https:\/\/the-news.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/100_2469.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 186px) 100vw, 186px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7264\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cllr Geoffrey Theobald<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Conservative Group Leader, Cllr.

His one and only intervention was, as usual, to score party political points over the Green Party.<\/p>\n<p>How can they be trusted to implement the reforms to the<\/p>\n<p>service that are so desperately needed when they are so inextricably linked with the trade union that keeps on bringing the workers out on strike?
