“It started before the hot weather and there was no information coming out – and the council still insists fortnightly collections will begin.” He wanted to know what needed to change in Environmental Services – the council’s rubbish and recycling service formerly known as Cityclean – for fortnightly collections to start.

Cllr Rowkins said that no decisions had been made yet on when to bring in fortnightly collections – and improved reliability was essential before any change could be made. The exchange took place at the full council meeting at Hove Town Hall on Thursday (July 23).
