Shirley residents fury as bins not collected for five weeks in a row
Residents of a retirement housing block in Shirley have told of their anger after their recycling bin collection was missed by council collection crews for five weeks in a row. Those living in the 69 flats at Latham Court on Endeavour Close, Shirley, have spent the last few weeks piling cardboard, empty milk cartons, Amazon parcels in their overflowing bin stores - with some residents being forced to start collecting the recycling in their own flats. The recycling has not been collected for five weeks (Image: NQ) Resident of Latham Court for 17 years, Dawn Cooper, 80, said: "We have been missed once or twice before but have never been left as long as five weeks. "We have well over 100 residents here who are all getting rather concerned and frustrated that are bins are not being collected. "Even tough the waste is recycling we have started to see flies, maggots and ants in our bin stores. "Our building manager has spent every day on the phone to the council and twice we have been told it will get collected on Monday - with it again being missed both times." The recycling has not been collected for five weeks (Image: NQ) The residents said they wanted the piles of recycling shifted as soon as possible.

Care leaver's service in Bradford 'has improved'
BRADFORD'S care leaver service has been praised by inspectors following a recent visit by Ofsted. Inspectors visited the service in early July, and have just published their findings. Their report says that while care leavers had 'lost faith' in the service in recent years, there have been recent major improvements. Care leavers are young adults aged 18 to 25 who are about to leave the care system, or have recently left care. Bradford Council still has a responsibility for care leavers, and this includes helping them find a place to live, supporting them with developing skill or moving into further education and helping with their budgeting. The Ofsted visit is the latest monitoring inspection to be carried out since Bradford's Children's Services was judged Inadequate in both 2018 and 2022. The service has since been taken over by an arm's length trust. The findings of the report were sent by letter to Marium Haque, Bradford Council's outgoing head of Children's Services. The letter says: 'Since the last inspection strong political and corporate support, together with significant additional investment in the care leaving service, is driving service improvements for vulnerable care leavers in Bradford. 'The trust and the council are working effectively together with a shared commitment to enabling their care leavers to thrive. 'There is a palpable determination by senior leaders to improve care leavers' experiences and opportunities, and ensure they have the emotional and practical support to transition successfully to adulthood and beyond. 'The council's local offer has been improved. Vulnerable care leavers are now benefiting from support from a stable and permanent team of personal advisers providing them with a trusted adult, helping them navigate adult life and face the myriad of challenges this brings. 'Care leavers spoken with during the visit reflected that they previously had numerous changes of workers, which meant that some care leavers lost faith in the service. Positively, care leavers told inspectors that more recent practice has improved, and they are now benefiting from increasingly stable relationships with their workers. They reflected that their workers talk about them with affection and help them to make progress and achieve their ambitions. 'Some plans are not routinely updated when care leavers' situations change, including changes in accommodation, meaning that their current needs may not always be fully assessed or understood. 'Partnership working has been strengthened, in particular relationships with housing. This is ensuring that care leavers have priority status for Bradford homes. Most care leavers live in suitable accommodation that meets their needs. 'PAs in the leaving care service spoke very positively about working in Bradford. They reflected on the historical challenges and articulated how they now feel happy, settled and better supported with their work.'
