I regularly report fly-tipping, litter and full bins for collection by the council. I am very active in the ward checking on these issues.

Unfortunately several instances of fly-tipping have still not been cleared.

At the last full council of this year I proposed a motion with my Liberal Democrat colleagues, that the council needed to take urgent action on litter and fly-tipping in the city, including a root and branch review of the service.

The Conservative administration voted to amend our motion and merely ‘implement the litter strategy’.

On April 1st 2022, Ubico will take over the council waste contract.

The service is currently provided by Urbaser (Amey).

I will keep pressing for a better, more responsive waste collection service.
