As Birmingham grapples with bin strikes and 'rats as big as cats', councils fear further cuts

Birmingham is facing a severe crisis as bin strikes continue, leaving uncollected refuse and ‘rats as big as cats’ roaming the streets.

Nearly 400 council refuse workers have begun indefinite strike action over jobs and pay, demanding a decent rate of pay from the city council.

Local residents are struggling with the impact on their mental health and the worsening conditions.
