Fires in bin collections vehicles far to frequent. If batteries are the issue, the council really needs to be doing more to raise awareness of risks. brightonandhovenews.org/2026…

@BrightonHoveCC @BellaSankey Absolutely no evidence of the so called street cleaning in Brighton in the worst and most important areas, west street and kings road between pier and i360, utter scum, everything is rotten.

Our recycling hasn’t been collected for 6 weeks now. Maybe focus on that?

Hi Annie - the report made was clearly someone trying to do their civic duty by highlighting an overflowing bin in a public space to @brightonhovecc. They should have received a thank you, rather than face barriers to the problem being picked up and rectified #BinFail

Hi there, the contact forms are the best way to report issues directly to the appropriate teams so jobs can be prioritised and actioned by the right people. Our channels aren’t monitored 24/7 and the forms ensure your enquiry is seen quickly. Thanks, Annie

Blaming @brightonhovecc officers for decisions, rather than @bhlabour councillors running the council, just 9 months before the local elections in May 2027, looks bad form. A case of throwing officers under the bus to save their own skin perhaps? #Bingate brightonandhovenews.org/2026…

So, @bhlabour @brightonhovecc force communal bins on Bevendean. Residents say they “should not have to accept a street that looks like a dumping ground because a service that has operated for years suddenly becomes too inconvenient to provide" #Bingate brightonandhovenews.org/2026…

Hi @BBCSussex- can I check the data you are drawing on when you say "improvement" in collection rates? Previous FOI requests indicate back in 2023 average weekly missed collections @brightonhovecc were 812. They appear to just keep going up ⬆️ xitter.cf/BellasBins/status/1953…

"Thousands of bins missed almost every week, new figures show". In 2023 @brightonhovecc's weekly missed collection average was 612, it shot up under @bhlabour in 2024 to 913 a week. Where are the improvements you promised @rowkz @BellaSankey? #BinFail brightonandhovenews.org/2026…

Has any anti-misogyny training happened after the horrific 2023 KC report @rowkz @bhlabour @brightonhovecc? Quite disgusting to hear reports of a bin crew heckling a mum of three. If her toddler can see council staff were saying "bad stuff" it is not OK theargus.co.uk/news/26442214…
