In our second largest city, there have been no bins collected for seven weeks.This is outrageous with rubbish mounting up on street pavements.Rats and other vermin are rampant and with a risk of major health problems this should be sorted out immediately.If they cannot agree to get things back to normal,Starmer should bring the army in to clear this mess.To cap it all they are being charged way above increases on their council tax coming in to force this month.
