While the collection of local household waste received a
good score, just 60% of residents felt the quality of local
recycling services was adequate. The standard telephone
service was generally considered very good, with over 90%
of respondents satisfied. However, the satisfaction level for
the mobile service was only 40%.
The Parish Council will establish a framework for the
improvement of recycling facilities in the village.
The Parish Council will encourage the provision of a
better mobile phone service, within the framework of
the Ashwell Village Design Statement.
