So Frank Wilkinson, cabinet member for strategic planning at West Sussex County Council, thinks donating 72 tonnes of alumium cans for 72 trees is a good deal (Letters, January 5). But for who?
On the open market, the value of scrap aluminium is about £600 per tonne. Wouldn't it be better to try and reduce the council tax with the money made from recycling this material?
By the way, what exactly is strategic planning? It sounds like some military operation. Or is just another job for the boys?
