Birmingham: The city is facing a tough time with ongoing bin strikes. The council has sent out a clear message to residents about paying their council tax, even with rubbish piling up.
People have been venting their frustrations online, asking if they can skip council tax payments since their bins aren’t being collected. But the council is firm, reminding everyone that paying council tax is a legal requirement.
The strikes are happening because of the Unite union, and the council says they can’t control it. Just last week, talks to resolve the issue didn’t go anywhere, so more walkouts are planned.
To help with the rubbish situation, some city tips are extending their hours. But the council is still urging folks to keep paying their taxes, as it funds essential services.
There’s also a warning for anyone thinking about dumping their trash at the Council House. The council made it clear that doing so would be considered fly-tipping, which they take very seriously.
Looking ahead, there are more strike dates lined up, so it seems like this issue isn’t going away anytime soon. Residents will need to stay patient as the situation unfolds.
