Birmingham MP sounds alarm over bin strike 'health emergency' | LBC

As bin men continue to strike across Birmingham, LBC's George Icke speaks to Labour MP Preet Gill, to get her thoughts on the situation. With an estimated 17,000 tonnes of rubbish and waste left uncollected, bin men are now entering their fourth week of strikes as they attempt to end an ongoing dispute over lost job roles and pay. The council has said daily pickets have blocked their depots meaning workers cannot get out to clear waste off the streets. Public health concerns have also been risen as a result. Gill stresses that ‘no one wants to put up with a smell like this,' and that she's ‘heartbroken’ with the rubbish that continues to pile up in the city. She also reveals she's written to the council about the 'ongoing public health emergency' and urges them to take action.
