If the BBC is correct, it looks like Eric Pickles is being forced into an embarrassing climb down over rubbish collections. Presumably, the leak to the BBC is designed to bury the story underneath then even more embarrassing reversal over NHS reform.
Pickles' plan to force weekly collections on every authority had already been ignored by many of his party colleagues, as I pointed out yesterday. The whole thing shows the shallowness of his commitment to localism, to waste minisimisation and increased recycling, and even to value for money.
