Birmingham bin strike: Should bin collections be nationalised?
As a bin strike continues to affect Birmingham, we asked locals whether they think bin collections should be nationalised.
The city council says it's making real progress in clearing the backlog, but when taking a stroll through inner city areas like Sparkhill or Aston, the stench of missed collections tells another story.
It all started with the decision to scrap the Waste Recycling and Collection Officer role. That's the higher paid job on the back of the lorry.
Birmingham City Council says it's outdated and risks triggering more equal pay claims.
