Cumbria County Council’s plan to introduce charges for Skip Hire permits have met criticism with locals.

Skip Hire permits are currently free in Cumbria, but plans are to introduce a £15 fee, though this has not yet been set in stone.

It has been described by locals as an unfair tax on those with terraced houses - predominantly those in poorer areas of Cumbria -  who cannot keep the skip driveway or off the road.

Many local authorities charge for skip hire permits. In Hertfordshire the fee is £40 and in Lancashire it is £22.50.

I have a shop being fitted out in Birmingham, so had a quick search in Google for “Skip Hire In Birmingham” and this turned up <<<<

Fantastically happy to learn from this article that skip hire permits in Birmingham are free!

Has a rather amusing video as well…

I ordered some skip hire last month and got an amazing service from topskips.com. I ordered the skip at 3am (don’t ask!), paid by google checkout, and three days later, there was the skip outside my house, on time. I filled it, rang them and asked if it could be picked up earlier than I originally requested, and they obliged helpfully and in a friendly manner. Then they emailed me a permanent discount code which saves me £12 off their telephone prices if I ever rder online skip hire from them again!

Mint!
