Edinburgh refuse worker strike enters the 5th day

More than twenty other council areas will also be affected from later this week.

Comedians from the Edinburgh Festival Fringe are to stage a benefit gig, in aid of the city’s striking refuse collectors.

The walkout is now in its 5th day – with more and more bins overflowing. The action is due to continue until the end of the month- that’s after the festivals have ended.
