LIB Dem county councillors in Surrey have launched a petition calling for Surrey County Council to abolish charges for residents disposing of DIY waste.

The petition follows a consultation from the Government announcing that it opposes the principle of councils charging residents for disposing of DIY waste and will consider changing the law if councils continue to charge.

It calls on the county council to “immediately stop charging residents for the disposal of household DIY waste” and can be signed online at scc.lib.dm/P82W.
