Brighton and Hove council chiefs speak out after bin crews strike again

The bin strike is not necessary – that is the view from council chiefs after yesterday’s industrial action.

Staff at Brighton and Hove City Council’s Cityclean took action yesterday (Monday September 15).

Unions claimed that some workers were not getting paid what they deserved.

But speaking to Latest TV, Geoff Raw, the council’s executive director, hit back and called for unions to be more realistic in their claims.

Residents will be hoping there is not a repeat of last year which saw waste pile up in the streets.
