    Anthony Tattum defended Birmingham's reputation

    It's a lovely sunny day here in Birmingham and I've not spotted a single bin bag dumped on the streets in the city centre itself.

    The bin strikes have created a lot of bad press for Brum - it's made international headlines and is terrible PR for the second city. So maybe its time for a reminder of what Birmingham has to offer.

    Anthony Tattum, co-founder of marketing agency Leopard Co, says Birmingham is not a rubbish city.

    "I think its a national sport bashing Birmingham and its reputation, but it's completely unnecessary," he says.

    He gave a nod to the Invictus Games coming to the city and reminded visitors there is a lot going on with arts and culture. There are restaurants and bars aplenty and people are still visiting Birmingham and shopping here.

    "It's a great, busy buzzing city with lots of architecture and so many brilliant things going no - great food, great culture, great entertainment. It's still a great place to visit," he said.
