Birmingham's bin crisis: All the latest information you need to know

Everything you need to know about the mediators who could help resolve the Birmingham bin dispute.

Talks have been taking place today between Birmingham City Council leader John Clancy and the union Unite over the ongoing bin dispute.

Residents in Birmingham have been getting in touch about the council bin collections which were due to take place last week.

Birmingham City Council has come up with a new plan to deal with the strikes, which have left much of the area without bin collections.

Unite, the country's largest union has warned the Birmingham bin dispute could continue for a further four months until Christmas.

Residents are hoping plans by Birmingham council to collect all waste by the end of the week will prove successful after weeks of strikes.

Changes to strike timetables means more rubbish is likely to go uncollected.

Harry Potter star Oliver Phelps has called on Birmingham City Council to pay bin men a fair wage and end the strike.
