'Embarrassing' state of the streets in Selly Oak

University students said their streets had become "disgusting" and "embarrassing", as the city's bin workers ramped up strikes that began in January.

Birmingham bin workers started an indefinite all-out strike on Tuesday, following on and off strike-days since the start of the year over pay, working conditions, and changes to some roles.

Birmingham City Council has previously said it has made a "fair and reasonable" offer to the union Unite, whose members have staged the walkouts.
