Sefton Council has issued an update on the bin collection delays that have affected the borough.
Disruptions have led to some households not having their rubbish removed for over a month. A spokesperson for Sefton Council said that the delays are the result of a "combination of operational issues, high sickness levels and low staff resource on successive Bank Holidays."
The delays have caused anger across Sefton with many residents voicing their anger over the issue. One mum told the ECHO in May: "It's ridiculous! There's more green waste than ever at this time of year and bins are overflowing."
