Nigel Bakhai, Ed Davey and Chris Huhne campaigning for better recycling in Ealing

Liberal Democrat MPs Ed Davey and Chris Huhne have joined local resident Nigel Bakhai to campaign for better recycilng in Ealing

Local campaigner Nigel Bakhai has revealed that Conservative-controlled Ealing Council recycled less than 20% of the borough's household waste in 2006.

The Council's recycling rate is 10 percentage points below its own target, and significantly below the figure achieved by neighbouring boroughs.

Local campaigner Nigel Bakhai said: "The Conservatives on Ealing Council have a shameful record on recycling - the Council failed to meet its target by a huge margin.

"Ealing recycles far less than nearby boroughs like Hammersmith & Fulham and Hillingdon - damaging the environment and wasting residents' money.

"With a charge of £18 for every tonne of waste sent to landfill, it is high time the Tories stopped taking us for granted and started cutting back on waste."
