A larger population makes waste management a significant priority (www.simpson-skip-hire.com)
According to figures published on the National Statistics Online site, the British population was estimated to be in excess of 61 million in 2008. This meant that the population had increased by 7 per cent since 1971. The population of London has increased substantially during that same period. This increase has obviously had many positive cultural and economic effects, but it has placed a degree of strain on parts of the urban infrastructure.
