South Ribble on verge of suspending bin collections due to HGV driver shortage
Bin collections are at risk of being suspended in South Ribble because of a shortage of HGV drivers, warn Council bosses.
The Council said it is struggling to recruit new drivers due to a national shortage brought about by the coronavirus pandemic and Brexit.
In an open letter addressed to the Government, council leader Paul Foster says the shortage "is now at crisis point" and household bin collections in the borough have become "unsustainable".
