I WAS very disappointed to read the letter from Labour councillor Steve Lydon on Household Recycling Centres in last week’s Stroud News and Journal.

In it he claimed the Conservatives were considering bringing in charges for Household Recycling Centres (or the tip to you and me). This is untrue.

Labour councillors must be getting desperate if they are putting this sort of fake news about.

Had Cllr Lydon, or any Labour councillor, bothered to ask, I would have been very happy to tell them this is untrue.

I am happy to set the record straight.
