a union and Brighton and Hove City Council means some residents in the

:00:11.:00:14.

city haven't had their bins collected for over three weeks. The

:00:14.:00:17.

council says it's doing everything it can to return to a normal service

:00:17.:00:20.

but the union insists its members won't pick up the backlog because

:00:20.:00:30.
:00:30.:00:31.

they're not being paid for it. Jon Hunt reports.

:00:31.:00:36.

At Victoria Park Gardens imports led the waste is piling up and cats and

:00:36.:00:42.

foxes are making the mess worse. Residents say they have had enough.

:00:42.:00:48.

Every day is built up and we back onto a nursery and we have a doctor

:00:48.:00:53.

's surgery and a library and a school, it has become very

:00:53.:00:58.

unpleasant and very unsightly and becomes more of a hazard each day.

:00:58.:01:02.

People are being asked to take their own waste to the tip while the

:01:02.:01:06.

destruction continues but they resent doing so when the council is

:01:06.:01:14.

refusing to offer our council tax discount. There is all sorts, food,

:01:14.:01:21.

nappies, you name it, so it is not the most buzz and smells.

:01:21.:01:24.

disruption follows a two-day workout earlier this month over plans by the

:01:24.:01:30.

council to make changes to allowances and expenses. The GMB

:01:30.:01:36.

union says this will reduce to campaign by the �4000 in some cases.

:01:36.:01:41.

Reitman Hove Council has apologised for the convenience -- inconvenience

:01:41.:01:46.

caused. It says it is working hard to get services back to normal as

:01:46.:01:50.

quickly as possible but they claim they are still facing targeted

:01:50.:01:55.

disruption from some crews. The GMB union says staff are working to

:01:55.:01:59.

their contracted guidelines which means they are emptying bins are not

:01:59.:02:04.

any excess rubbish around them. The City Council says their new

:02:04.:02:08.

allowances and expenses proposals are fair and affordable.

:02:08.:02:12.

A man's been remanded in custody charged with the rape of a woman in

:02:12.:02:16.

her 80s in Hove. 23-year-old Daniel Christopher Hewett - a student of no

:02:16.:02:18.

fixed address - appeared at Brighton Magistrates Court this morning. He

:02:18.:02:23.

was arrested at the victim's home at around 7.15 on Saturday morning.

:02:23.:02:26.

A fourth man has been arrested in connection with the murder of a

:02:26.:02:29.

father of two from Kent. Xhem Krasniqi died of a single gunshot

:02:29.:02:33.

wound while visiting family and Hove. The 34-year-old from Brighton

:02:33.:02:36.

was arrested as he flew back into Gatwick Airport on Sunday evening.

:02:36.:02:40.

He remains in custody for questioning.

:02:40.:02:43.

A number of off-licences in Dover have agreed not to sell higher

:02:43.:02:46.

strength alcohol to street drinkers as part of a new crackdown on

:02:46.:02:50.

anti-social behaviour. Modelled on a successful scheme in Ipswich, the

:02:50.:02:53.

six-month trial aims to stop drinks with more than 6.5% alcohol content

:02:53.:03:01.

being sold to problem drinkers. New recycling collections are to be

:03:02.:03:05.

brought in by a Kent Council, just months after being named and shamed

:03:05.:03:08.

as having the worst rate in the country. Ashford Borough Council

:03:08.:03:10.

recycled just 40% of its household waste last year, compared to the

:03:11.:03:17.

national average of 43%. The council aims to raise recycling rates to 60%

:03:17.:03:22.

by 2015. As the football season officially

:03:22.:03:25.

ends today, it has emerged that police forces in the South East have

:03:25.:03:34.

issued nine football banning orders this season. One Kent teenager

:03:34.:03:36.

received a five-year ban after he attacked the opposing side

:03:36.:03:46.
:03:46.:03:47.

goalkeeper during the dealing away match.

:03:47.:03:52.

A triumphant season for Gillingham football club. However, as the

:03:52.:03:56.

season officially ends today it has emerged that nine football banning

:03:56.:04:00.

orders have been issued across the South East of this season. The most

:04:00.:04:05.

profile and in order was for five years for a teenager who ran onto

:04:05.:04:09.

the pitch during a Gillingham game and attack a goalkeeper. It is one

:04:09.:04:16.

of five issued by Kent Police compare to two last season. Kent

:04:16.:04:20.

Police attributed the rise to the success that the club has had this

:04:20.:04:24.

season and the growth in attendance. They said the test they have to

:04:24.:04:27.

satisfy is that the actions of the individual could have brought the

:04:27.:04:31.

game to a halt or a reaction from the crowd such as them surging

:04:31.:04:39.

forward. We like to come across as being a family club. The majority of

:04:40.:04:44.

the fans do behave themselves and it is just a small minority through too

:04:44.:04:51.

much alcohol who spoil it for the majority. At Brighton and Hove

:04:51.:04:56.

Albion, Sussex police issued for banning orders. There are a lot of

:04:56.:05:04.

restrictions that come. The hope is that it is a strong deterrent to

:05:04.:05:10.

describe its fans ahead of next season.

:05:10.:05:14.

We have had a fairly nice bank We have had a fairly nice bank

holiday weekend but will it last? I am afraid the good news is about to

:05:20.:05:24.

end. Today we have reached 18 Celsius but feeling cooler than that

:05:25.:05:29.

in the fresh breeze. This week is going to be rather unsettled and

:05:29.:05:34.

certainly feeling cooler. Tonight there are some sunny spells left in

:05:34.:05:40.

the day that a bit of a treat. It is going to stay dry for this evening

:05:40.:05:44.

but we have a front marching in from the west so later in the night we

:05:45.:05:49.

will be joined by outbreaks of rain. Temperatures down to 11 or 12

:05:50.:05:56.

Celsius tonight. To morrow is looking like a cloudy, when day. --

:05:56.:06:02.

tomorrow. Not so much in the way of wind but definitely feeling cooler

:06:02.:06:07.

than over the last couple of days. Temperatures only just reaching 11

:06:07.:06:13.

or 12 Celsius. Tomorrow night, we do lose the rain that we are still

:06:13.:06:18.

having quite a cloudy night and bits of showers. Temperatures down to

:06:18.:06:24.

eight or nine Celsius. On Wednesday, a mixture of low cloud, mist and

:06:24.:06:30.

rain. We hold onto the wet conditions until Friday, when things

:06:30.:06:35.

begin to dry up a little bit. But do not get too excited because next

:06:35.:06:39.

weekend is not looking like a repeat of the bank holiday weekend.
