UNIONS have slammed plans for community safety wardens in south Wales to be diverted from tackling anti-social behaviour to policing what goes into residents’ recycling bins.
Unison and GMB urged Caerphilly County Borough Council today to think again over “flawed” proposals to order wardens to make house-to-house checks as soon as next week.
They warned that residents are unaware of what is expected of them regarding recycling and are more worried about crime and anti-social issues.
