What help are your council with cloth ?

Nothing, I asked about 5 years ago why they dont do an incentive scheme and they spouted THAT Cloth V.s Disposable debate.

This is Somerset county council and sedgemoor district council although North somerset do a scheme, im 10 miles too far south.

In Nottingham you get £25 cheque if you send in receipts showing you've spent over £50 on nappies, and your child's birth cert. We got it for both of ours

Similar here to Tones, a trial kit for a deposit of £25 then 20% off up to £300 spend with a certain company.

Yep I'm in Notts too and just to add that as I have twins I got £25 x 2 which is good as not everyone acnowledges that 2xbabies = 2xexpense!!

Leeds City Council are pretty good. When I was pregnant with James they came to our ante natal classes and gave a demonstration of the various types of cloth nappy. They also had/have two options, either a trial pack of reusable nappies (you specify sex of child or GN) or they repaid up to £30 for a £50 cloth nappy purchase on proof of receipt.

I got a Bum Genius and a two part fitted system (can't remember what the nappy was) and also 10 disposable liners. It's slightly different now, they do a BG and a Pop In plus the liners or the cash back.

None I can't see them ever being pursuaded to do it around here, even if the economic climate got better. I know very few who use cloth here (South Yorkshire).

My sis lives in the Leeds Council area and I tried to pursuade her to take advatange of their scheme. But her idea of doing it would be to buy them and sell them on ebay So not the point!

Anglesey - nothing. I emailed them to ask why not and they replied with "how could we get people interested in cloth nappies". I sent them a long and detailed reply and...never heard back from them. It's a truly awful local council, though. No environmentally supportive schemes whatsoever. They even send lorries around collecting compost from people's houses instead of providing free compost bins.

I'm moving to Huntingdon and they also don't help with nappies.

You'd think the councils would get on board, wouldn't you? Must save them money not having a few thousand nappies to collect, process and store in landfill.
