A Birmingham resident whose car was destroyed by rats in a street where piles of rubbish were “as tall as” him is “disappointed” that bin workers have rejected the deal to end the long-running strike.
Rats have been seen scurrying around mounting piles of rubbish, food waste and bin bags outside homes, shops and restaurants in the city since hundreds of refuse workers went on strike last month.
Adam Yasin, 33, from the Balsall Heath area of the city, said his Mercedes was “completely written off” just weeks ago because rats had chewed through wires in the engine.
He said: “Because of that certain wiring, the car wouldn’t start. They said they need to rewire the whole car but the insurance company said it was too expensive.
