A council has made a rapid U-turn after announcing that residents would have their food and garden waste bins emptied for month despite the heatwave.
Waltham Forest Council in east London, told its residents the 'rubbish' news on Twitter that bin collections would be halted from August 15.
But it backtracked just 24 hours later after locals flocked to social media to raise their concerns of having food left to rot in the streets in 35C heat.
