- Description
- Residents across North Birmingham and Sutton Coldfield are to become the first to get their recycling service back and new food waste collections under major new changes announced today.
They will also be the first to get their weekly black bin collections axed in favour of a new fortnightly alternating service. Black bins of general waste will be picked up one week and recycling bins collected the other week under the new scheme.
The major changes kick in from TOMORROW, June 30, when new bins will be delivered to affected homes.
Thousands of households whose bins are normally collected by the crews based at the Perry Barr waste depot will then start to switch to the new multi-bin collection service, starting week beginning July 6.

- Description
- Andy Burnham has delivered his first major speech since Sir Keir Starmer's resignation last week, to a rapturuous applause and reception in Manchester.
The Labour Party MP for Makerfield, widely anticipated to be Sir Keir's successor, said he sounds like he used to sound when he was DJing in Manchester, adding the venue, the People’s History museum in Manchester, is one of his favourite places.
One of his old coats is on display upstairs, he told the crowd on Monday (June 29), as he fleshed out his plans for his premiership. The gallery tells the story of the country, Mr Burnham said, and it is a story about how the country has not been run properly.

- Description
- Former Royal Marine Al Carns, now a Birmingham MP, is calling on Prime Minister-in-waiting Andy Burnham to be 'bold and courageous' or risk letting down 'our people and our country.'
Carns, MP for Selly Oak, is the only Labour MP still talking about challenging Burnham to succeed Keir Starmer as party leader.
And he insists he's serious - despite naysayers claiming he is driven by ego and personal ambition.
In an exclusive conversation with BirminghamLive in city pub Cherry Reds, Carns confirmed he will only formally seek to challenge Burnham if the vision for the country he eventually sets out is not 'bold and courageous'.

- 859 schools remain closed on Thursday as the UK heatwave continues. A full list has been released ahead as the Department for Education issues guidance.
The Department for Education said it does not normally advise schools to close during hot weather because attendance is “the best way for pupils to learn and reach their potential”, but that school leaders should ensure they take “any steps necessary to make sure children are safe and comfortable”, as it laid out guidance on how to keep pupils safe.
The new June temperature record for the UK of 36.1C was provisionally set on Wednesday afternoon in Gosport, Hampshire. But, that could be broken for the second day in a row as temperatures soar again on Thursday, potentially reaching 37 or 38C.

- Andy Burnham has been sworn in as MP for Makerfield after Sir Keir Starmer's resignation as Labour Party Prime Minister - cheers were heard as he stepped up to the speaker.
Now, all eyes are turning to what a Burnham premiership could mean for people's money. In an interview with The Telegraph in September, Mr Burnham said there was “definitely a case” to increase the additional rate of income tax to 50p, up from the current 45p.
He urged Rachel Reeves to cut taxes at the opposite end of the spectrum, by introducing a 10p band for the lowest-paid workers; currently 20pc is charged on incomes between £12,571-£50,270.
