Birmingham bin strike suspended after talks breakthrough
Bin collection will return to normal in Birmingham after progress was made in a long-running dispute involving refuse collection workers, conciliation service Acas said.
The Unite union had warned that the dispute could last until Christmas, causing disruption to roads in the city including parts of Great Barr.
Workers had been campaigning against plans to cut more than 100 waste collection jobs.
Acas said industrial action has been suspended, and that Unite and Birmingham City Council are "pleased to be recommencing industrial relations and pleased that the bin collection can resume without disruption".
