The Council have informed me that they have been experiencing a number of vehicle issues due to the hot weather.  They have identified the primary (but not exclusive) fault as overheating sensors that control the bin lift mechanism and have re-assured me they are working through replacing them as well as bringing in additional resources.

However, this has caused delays in completion of both refuse and recycling rounds at the start of the week and will have a knock on effect throughout this week at least.

I have been re-assured that if your bins are not emptied on Friday you are advised to leave all uncollected bins out and they say they will collect as soon as possible.

If I get any further updates I will share the information.
