Update on refuse strike – Saturday 1^st January

I’ve been down this morning to the ‘casual workforce’ depot in Bordesley Green, to get a idea of which roads in Moseley and Kings Heath Ward they will be collecting from over this weekend.

Having looked at their maps, I can confirm that they are focusing today on the north Moseley area around Church Road, Kingswood Road, Trafalgar Road, Anderton Park Road and Belle Walk. Having driven around this patch last night, Kingswood Road is suffering particularly badly from uncollected rubbish.

I will have a drive around later today to see if any bits have been missed. Plus I intend to visit the depot again tomorrow morning for another update..

The managers at the depot are aiming to get rid of the city’s backlog on uncollected rubbish by Friday 7^th January.
