According to a new straw poll conducted by the National Skip Hire & Recycling Association, there is a huge differential in the sums charged by local authorities for skip permits.
Apparently, a lack of standardisation is allowing some local authorities to charge ludicrous sums, according to a new straw poll from the National Skip Hire and Recycling Association. Indeed, based upon a sample of 18 local authorities selected at random, permit fees vary from no charge in Leicester up to a staggering £26 per day PLUS a £72 application fee in Kensington and Chelsea.
So, is this a reinforcement of the North-South divide? We’d love to hear what you’re paying in your local area so please let us have your thoughts using the Leave A Reply box below.
