We’ve just crossed 2,500 signatures — an incredible milestone and a clear message from Islanders that these new DIY waste charges are not acceptable.

The petition has now been formally raised with the Council, and they are fully aware of the strength of feeling behind it. Despite this, the response so far has been essentially: “This is it.”

But 2,500 people disagree.

Thank you to everyone who has signed, shared, and spoken up. Your support is what keeps this moving. The more voices behind this, the harder it becomes for the Council to ignore the impact these charges are having on ordinary residents.

Let’s keep going.
