A proposal to switch to collecting bins every four weeks in Bristol has been dropped by council chiefs .

The idea was only put into a consultation as 'an outlier' and was 'always unlikely to go ahead' The Green Party has now ruled out supporting four-weekly black bin collections in Bristol .

The opposition Labour group organised a petition signed by more than 10,000 people against the idea.

Green-led council ruled out a move to four-weekly black bin collection at least for now.

12,000-plus people who signed petition have sent a clear message that Bristolians do not support this cut in services.

Council administration received a significant funding uplift this year so it should investigate ways to increase recycling rates without cutting services.
