A GROUP of pensioners are calling on others to join them in a city-wide boycott of new brown bin charges.But residents in Whitburn Street in Carntyne are calling on local authority bosses to introduce a reduced rate for the elderly or vulnerable who are unable to afford the one-off payment.
She added: “It just seems that the vulnerable and those who are retired are being squeezed more and more. Ann said: “Perhaps the cost could be woven into their council tax charges for the year to make it more manageable for those who are struggling?” “It’s not as if the elderly benefit from the council maintaining gardens around here because that service was cut years ago. People now feel they are being put in a position of having to choose to pay one bill over another.
