I think Andy Street, the former Mayor, would have taken action by now sad

The simplest thing would be for people with an open space to burn their rubbish. The Council is apparently unmoved by rats and possible pestilence, but the sight of smoke polluting the atmosphere might possibly goad them into clearing the rubbish.
Rayner won't do anything. Her function is to serve the unions, because they are the force that keeps her as Deputy Prime Minister.

It must be awful. I agree this is a health problem and the government have a duty of care. If necessary clearance should be organised by the army.

I've put this under 'Health' because it's turning into a serious health issue.

My brother lives in Birmingham, cycles to his office every day passing unbelievable piles of black bags and increasingly stinking detritus and yes - the rats are prolific and frighteningly large.

Starmer and Raynor - sort this out!
