Hopes of ending industrial action by refuse collection drivers have risen after an agreement was reached in a bitter dispute over working conditions.
Members of the GMB union in Brighton and Hove have been on strike for weeks, leading to rubbish piling up in the streets.
Gary Palmer, GMB organiser, said: “Subject to GMB members’ sign-off on Monday and the council passing it at the policy and resources committee meeting on Tuesday, an agreement between Brighton and Hove council and the GMB has been reached.
“If the agreement is passed by both parties, GMB will immediately suspend 30 days of strike action due to start on October 21.”
