Sutton Council Waste Summary Changing The Facts

On the 1st February 2022 I (Mark Gale) spotted that reported data suggested that Sutton started collecting almost double the rubbish than they had in previous quarters.

I tweeted my findings.

A few days later a new version was created without explanation. I didn’t initially notice the change as the current Sutton Council website is a mess while they upgrade it. They had both versions online until a few days ago, on different similar landing pages. The old page with V1 data disappeared on or shortly after 25 May 2022.
