Elsie - The voice of Whitmore Reans

Mrs. Elsie Blount have today spoken of her concern over increasing problems with rubbish collection in Whitmore Reans.

"Our rubbish hasn`t been collected in over two weeks, what do the City Council expect us to do with it?", the 73-year old pensioner of Carter Road tells us over a cup of tea. "My husband Alain has phoned the City Council all week, and they keep saying they are going to sort it out. As if he hasn`t got enough on his mind!" (The 76-year old is involved in a conflict with Telewest, as reported by Whitmore Reans Gazette.) "I keep telling him we should move back to West Bromwich, that`s where I was born. That`s also where I met him, he was on holiday, I think it was in 1953. He gave me half-pints of cider and was really good at darts."

As Mr. Blount is unavailable at the moment, we are unable to report how the situation with the rubbish collection is coming along. Whitmore Reans Gazette might follow up this story if there is sufficient inererest among the public.
