In reply to Sheila Hansford's letter on January 8, regarding the clearing of leaves and cuttings from ones garden, I must agree.

She is perfectly correct. This should not be the local council's duty.

However, the problem lies with rubbish collectors who will not collect any garden rubbish. I have noticed rubbish collectors opening black sacks to check to see what rubbish is in them before collecting.

Issues such as this need to be addressed with the company that the Croydon council employ to do the job.
