Well it's either because they have NTL connections or because the vast majority of the councils functions are not subject to or follow the trends of 'digital economics'

Maybe when you can remove trash (or house people or any other 'real world' function of the council) over a digital network you might be able to start expecting a year on year decrease in cost (or year on year increas in the amiunt of trash removed at same cost)
