Review Detail

I understand that the council have no legal responsibility to collect green waste, however they have negotiated a contract that includes that provision. I have two questions, firstly did FCC submit a low bid knowing they did not have enough drivers/operatives to actually fulfil the contract? They should have known their workforce when making their bid, Brexit is not an excuse as it was that they would lose foreign workers before the bid was presented and also they have had nearly a year to sort the problem out. Blaming a national shortage is no excuse for not being prepared in the first place.
Secondly, are FCC going to refund the ‘Green Collection’ portion of their contract? If I only did half the job I was contracted to do and tried to charge full price I am sure I would never get away with it!
