Mr Summerdays did it for one bike, but the next bike he bought he just preferred to buy it outright.
I hadn't ever thought about getting a child's bike to be valid before but I like the idea that it aids the parent to be able to complete their journey by bike. I did used to do that but had bought the child's bike anyway, but would often see parents claiming they needed to get to work after dropping their children by car (in one case they lived on the same road as the school!!! - I don't think the scheme would have altered their views).

It's a bit more complicated than that...
Name somewhere you can live without "forced" interaction with both public and private sectors...

Good luck in doing that for less than twice the price you pay for your entire council tax....

Well the state has a monopoly on bin emptying at the moment! Open it up to competition and then lets see!

No it encourages companies to compete for council based contracts. There is a huge difference. So for example Bexley goes out to tender and gets a price of £1 per bin emptied. Mr Standoff will never, ever achieve that without organising a council sized collective. Oh that would be a council then.

No they don't. They're the only ones doing it for householders because there's no commercial incentive for anyone else to do it. And that, in turn, is because the service that the council must provide is cheap and effective.
Try ringing these guys (phone number on the webpage) and let us know how you get on:

So you think that big government and state services are the way to a successful economy?
Apart from government encouraged property and debt bubbles the main reason we are indeed fooked is that successive governments just cannot stop getting bigger and bigger and cannot stop spending more money than the country earns! Silly, grand schemes like the c2w scheme are only the tip of the iceberg.

Do something more useful. Become more self sufficient. Stop relying on your government to do everything for you! Starve the beast!
