Rats roam as hundreds of Birmingham bins go uncollected

A resident has filmed rats on a residential road, blaming uncollected rubbish for the infestation.

Zaheer Akbar said missed collections in Alum Rock, Birmingham, had resulted in some fly-tipping.

Birmingham City Council has admitted up to 900 bin collections are being missed every day.

It said it was partly down to a change in workers' shift patterns and said it needed to do better.
