I THINK it’s a disgrace that you will be charged at the council’s waste recycling sites for disposing of waste, such as garden waste and building materials.

I already pay for an additional wheelie bin for my garden waste.

These separate charges will only encourage fly-tipping, and it will be left to the local authority to collect the waste.

Where will these cuts end?

Southampton Art Gallery is on reduced hours, care services such as Woodside Lodge are to close and the council is hoping to sell land at the Sports Centre.

Perhaps some of the senior officials at the council should be made redundant, that would help to save some of the services.
