Solihull Council is still failing to meet demand from residents for recycling, claims Lorely Burt MP after she witnessed yet more weekend overflow at the new plastics recycling point on Monkspath Hall Road.
"I was aghast to see that despite all the council's promises, they are simply failing to meet the demand for recycling from Solihull residents, resulting in an ugly mess of materials strewn across the recycling area that council employed contractors tell residents they clear away to landfill.
"It simply isn't good enough. I took more photographs of the overflow today and I have set them to Councillor David Bell, who is responsible for the service.
"I have also spoken to Councillor Bell to ask what he intends to do about the overspill. The council is not providing adequate facilities and they must either increase the capacity or make sure that the containers are replaced more frequently.
