Can you believe the Birmingham bin strike has been going on for a year?
While Birmingham City Council is effectively bankrupt, they still managed to blow £8.4m on agency staff and £5m on contractors in just eight months last year!!
This isn’t just a Birmingham problem anymore. The ‘reputational damage’ to the West Midlands is hitting the world stage, and closer to home, we are seeing more rubbish and fly-tipping.
That’s why I raised this matter once again in Parliament.
My message to the Government is simple: Get this sorted out!
