Birmingham CC leader’s future in question over bin dispute

Birmingham City Council leader was battling for his political survival today as he faced down calls to quit over the long-running bin dispute.

A Labour group meeting last night is believed to have ended in acrimony, with a motion of confidence in Cllr Clancy’s leadership expected to be tabled next week.
