THIS is just a letter to say how brilliant Darlington Borough Council is at wasting ratepayers’ hard earned money.

It has just spent £30,000 on state of the art waste bins on and along High Row, six bins at £5,000 a bin – ridiculous.

Doesn’t the council do any research? People who use High Row have enough trouble just placing rubbish in an open bin. Now they have to push down on a handle and put the rubbish in.

I think these people are going to find it a bit hard.

But £30,000 on dustbins – that money could have been spent on something better – heads should roll.
