:00:14. > :00:17.city haven't had their bins collected for over three weeks. The
:00:17. > :00:20.council says it's doing everything it can to return to a normal service
:00:20. > :00:30.but the union insists its members won't pick up the backlog because

:00:31. > :00:36.they're not being paid for it. Jon Hunt reports.
:00:36. > :00:42.At Victoria Park Gardens imports led the waste is piling up and cats and
:00:42. > :00:48.foxes are making the mess worse. Residents say they have had enough.
:00:48. > :00:53.Every day is built up and we back onto a nursery and we have a doctor
:00:53. > :00:58.'s surgery and a library and a school, it has become very
:00:58. > :01:02.unpleasant and very unsightly and becomes more of a hazard each day.
:01:02. > :01:06.People are being asked to take their own waste to the tip while the
:01:06. > :01:14.destruction continues but they resent doing so when the council is
:01:14. > :01:21.refusing to offer our council tax discount. There is all sorts, food,
:01:21. > :01:24.nappies, you name it, so it is not the most buzz and smells.
:01:24. > :01:30.disruption follows a two-day workout earlier this month over plans by the
:01:30. > :01:36.council to make changes to allowances and expenses. The GMB
:01:36. > :01:41.union says this will reduce to campaign by the �4000 in some cases.
:01:41. > :01:46.Reitman Hove Council has apologised for the convenience -- inconvenience
:01:46. > :01:50.caused. It says it is working hard to get services back to normal as
:01:50. > :01:55.quickly as possible but they claim they are still facing targeted
:01:55. > :01:59.disruption from some crews. The GMB union says staff are working to

:02:04. > :02:08.any excess rubbish around them. The City Council says their new
:02:08. > :02:12.allowances and expenses proposals are fair and affordable.
:02:12. > :02:16.A man's been remanded in custody charged with the rape of a woman in
:02:16. > :02:18.her 80s in Hove. 23-year-old Daniel Christopher Hewett - a student of no

:02:43. > :02:46.A number of off-licences in Dover have agreed not to sell higher
:02:46. > :02:50.strength alcohol to street drinkers as part of a new crackdown on
:02:50. > :02:53.anti-social behaviour. Modelled on a successful scheme in Ipswich, the
:02:53. > :03:01.six-month trial aims to stop drinks with more than 6.5% alcohol content

:03:05. > :03:08.brought in by a Kent Council, just months after being named and shamed
:03:08. > :03:10.as having the worst rate in the country. Ashford Borough Council
:03:11. > :03:17.recycled just 40% of its household waste last year, compared to the
:03:17. > :03:22.national average of 43%. The council aims to raise recycling rates to 60%
:03:22. > :03:25.by 2015. As the football season officially
:03:25. > :03:34.ends today, it has emerged that police forces in the South East have
:03:34. > :03:36.issued nine football banning orders this season. One Kent teenager
:03:36. > :03:46.received a five-year ban after he attacked the opposing side
:03:46. > :03:47.
:03:47. > :03:52.goalkeeper during the dealing away match.
:03:52. > :03:56.A triumphant season for Gillingham football club. However, as the
:03:56. > :04:00.season officially ends today it has emerged that nine football banning
:04:00. > :04:05.orders have been issued across the South East of this season. The most
:04:05. > :04:09.profile and in order was for five years for a teenager who ran onto
:04:09. > :04:16.the pitch during a Gillingham game and attack a goalkeeper. It is one
:04:16. > :04:20.of five issued by Kent Police compare to two last season. Kent
:04:20. > :04:24.Police attributed the rise to the success that the club has had this
:04:24. > :04:27.season and the growth in attendance. They said the test they have to
:04:27. > :04:31.satisfy is that the actions of the individual could have brought the
:04:31. > :04:39.game to a halt or a reaction from the crowd such as them surging
:04:40. > :04:44.forward. We like to come across as being a family club. The majority of
:04:44. > :04:51.the fans do behave themselves and it is just a small minority through too
:04:51. > :04:56.much alcohol who spoil it for the majority. At Brighton and Hove
:04:56. > :05:04.Albion, Sussex police issued for banning orders. There are a lot of
:05:04. > :05:10.restrictions that come. The hope is that it is a strong deterrent to
:05:10. > :05:14.describe its fans ahead of next season.
:05:14. > :05:19.We have had a fairly nice bank We have had a fairly nice bank
:05:20. > :05:24.holiday weekend but will it last? I am afraid the good news is about to
:05:25. > :05:29.end. Today we have reached 18 Celsius but feeling cooler than that
:05:29. > :05:34.in the fresh breeze. This week is going to be rather unsettled and
:05:34. > :05:40.certainly feeling cooler. Tonight there are some sunny spells left in
:05:40. > :05:44.the day that a bit of a treat. It is going to stay dry for this evening
:05:45. > :05:49.but we have a front marching in from the west so later in the night we
:05:50. > :05:56.will be joined by outbreaks of rain. Temperatures down to 11 or 12
:05:56. > :06:02.Celsius tonight. To morrow is looking like a cloudy, when day. --
:06:02. > :06:07.tomorrow. Not so much in the way of wind but definitely feeling cooler
:06:07. > :06:13.than over the last couple of days. Temperatures only just reaching 11
:06:13. > :06:18.or 12 Celsius. Tomorrow night, we do lose the rain that we are still
:06:18. > :06:24.having quite a cloudy night and bits of showers. Temperatures down to
:06:24. > :06:30.eight or nine Celsius. On Wednesday, a mixture of low cloud, mist and
:06:30. > :06:35.rain. We hold onto the wet conditions until Friday, when things
:06:35. > :06:39.begin to dry up a little bit. But do not get too excited because next
:06:39. > :06:42.weekend is not looking like a repeat of the bank holiday weekend.
