East Coast kicks up a storm on Twitter – Pedal on Parliament back at Holyrood- Royal visit to Edinburgh today – Growing Greener Futures – Refuse collection reminder service
Clearly the person who mans the East Coast Twitter account was either very tired and fed up with all the complaints from yesterday, or indeed has a great sense of humour. With trains being cancelled and rerouted the tweets were flowing thick and fast.
We really quite admired the humour in this tweet, given that yesterday must have been a very fraught day for any travellers and anyone who was trying to get them there. The original message is not fit for publication, suffice to say that it was to impart some dissatisfaction….!

From the Rubbish and recycling page on the Council website you can be directed to GreenBoxDay which will send you an email reminder when it is the day for your recycling to go out for collection. Does not seem to work for ordinary rubbish only recycling. But it might help us all remember the new collection days….. And the council will have the backlog sorted by then we hope!
