Residents of Ladywood in Birmingham express frustration over uncollected bins during recent strikes, feeling neglected compared to wealthier neighborhoods. Peter Thomas and his neighbor Gloria Charles highlighted embarrassment over the overflowing rubbish and lack of cleanup efforts. Students in nearby areas report challenges with inadequate waste facilities, leading to rubbish spilling onto the streets and attracting pests. The situation has fostered a sense of inequity and dissatisfaction among the community, which is striving to maintain cleanliness despite systemic neglect.
We do take pride in our little road, we try to keep it as clean as possible. The way it is now, do you invite anybody down here?
At the end of the day when we want to put rubbish out we have to put it on the streets and within like 12 hours the bags are all opened.
