@BhamCityCouncil So the CC of WMP woke up? On-going problem of CCs who live outside of WM and therfore are not part of the community they are responsible for. The police have a role to prevent crime and prevent breaches of peace, not to 'facilitate' protests, a subtle but significant difference.

As of 8am this morning, the majority of our waste wagons have been deployed from our three depots citywide. We apologise for the current situation. Please leave bins at the edge of your property (or collection point) we'll collect asap 1/2

@BhamCityCouncil Any chance WMP could excercise their powers under section 137 Highways Act?

We are committed to creating a modern, sustainable and consistently reliable waste collection service ✅ Read our factsheet explaining the truth behind some of the issues that have been raised about the current Industrial Action Link in the comments👇

@BhamCityCouncil Will BCC confirm that striking workers are not receiving pay in accordance with lawful rules governing striking workers?

📢 5 days of strike action this week We will do our best to collect your bin: ➡️ continue to put your household waste bin (grey lid) out ❌ Do not put your recycling bin out for collection ☑️ Excess waste will be taken For more information, click the link in the comments 👇

@BhamCityCouncil Could that be because you haven't sorted out the regular refuse collection.yet🫢

Our weekend mobile waste service is proving popular - 887 visits and over 16 tonnes of waste collected last weekend. This Saturday it will be at Mohammedi Masjid car park in Alum Rock, and on Sunday at Alfred Road car park in Sparkbrook. 10am to 3.30pm.

@CllrMajid Why have the recycling operatives taken rhe paper/card pods from bins leaving no facility for this recycling service. I'm shocked and appalled. The latest in a string of failures from waste services.

@EE Thanks for replying 🙂

@deflynn50 If the team haven't been able to advise of an updated connection date just yet, I'd honestly advise giving them a call so that we can take a look into what's happening ee.co.uk/help/contact-ee.

Unimpressed with @EE Internet switch over. 48 hours without Internet, 'there there' customer service approach. Needs improvement.

@EE Connection date was last Wednesday 20th November.

@deflynn50 Good morning, I'm really sorry that the internet's still not up and running, have the team advised why this hasn't been connected just yet? Have they given a connection date?

#bhx_official Lisbon Airport, huge volume of passengers. Time through security......10 mins.

#bhx_official 1 hour 40 mins to get through security today. 1 scanner out of use. More bags being pulled than let through, pwiple literally running to gates.

@bhx_official #bhx another clownathon this morning. Absolutely nothing has improved here since June. Who are these bosses accountable to?

📣 All passengers leaving BHX can only carry containers up to 100ml in liquids, pastes and gels in their hand luggage 📣 ❌ Do not put them in plastic bags in your hand luggage ❌ Do not remove them at security 🧴There is no restriction on how many 100ml containers can be carried

@bhx_official Qhen will the new and improved scanners actually improve the screening process efficiency? Took my 100ml shower gel out to put it in a scanner🙄 Pulling more bags for additional screening without any positive outcome.

⚠️ Advice if you're travelling from Birmingham Airport ✈️

@Ryanair Plane knowingly boarded with 2.5 hour delay. Stuck on tarmac bhx. Any chance of a complimentary cuppa if we get to 2 hours as per CAA regs?

@nxwestmidlands Hope the driver of 49 bus(Solihull)at 1025 in Cotteridge this morning is proud of driving off, leaving my 79 year old mother using a walking stick making her way to board (a 45 was in the stop already). Shame on you. She saw you look at her and close the doors😡

@schooltruth @keirsgotaplan The same representation. Birmingham made a positive decision to redefine its Grammar School requirements based upon local catchment areas which will reflect local communities. No more travelling from Derbyshire and the like to Birmingham schools.

@keirsgotaplan What would the other schools get?

Schools could be judged on whether they are representative of their communities. Good. We have called for this for a long time. Tricky for the grammars though. Hoping next step is an end to the 11 plus test. theguardian.com/education/arti…

@bhx_official Gotta say, any small size liquids I have will be in a plastic bag in case they leak. Why would they not be?

@leepainter Thanks. I'll day a few Hail Marys

@deflynn50 Yes, the security queue is the biggest. There are staff to advise. Good luck

Birmingham Airport 25/5/24 - what a complete shambles!! Photo 1 - 4.38am easyJet queue Photo 2 - 5.16am security queue before elevator Photo 3 - 5.46am security queue after elevator Got to lounge at 6.35am #bhx what a joke!! Use another airport if possible.

@F1Smasher @bhx_official Came through Knock Ireland West, basically a small airport in the bog, in April. Zero problems with their scanners. Didn't have to rake liquids or electronics out. How do qe make simple so difficult 😕

@bhx_official In case anyone's wondering why the abrupt change from the DfT, it seems the CT scanners at UK airports are triggering secondary inspections of too many bags, causing delays. Interestingly, EU airports with CT scanners are doing just fine without mile long queues 🧐

Important Announcement - New Government Directive❗ Effective Sunday 9th June 2024 at 0001 hours All UK airports are temporarily restricted to 100ml in hand baggage from 9th June at 0001 hours until further notice. Read more here ➡️ orlo.uk/g4VLd

@bhx_official I am still struggling with why you aren't adapting your approach in light of the experiences?

May 2024 in numbers ✈️ #BHX
