MHCLG Resilience & Recovery Directorate officials attend the multi-agency coordinating group established in response to the declaration of a major incident by Birmingham City Council. Area Team officials are also meeting twice weekly with Birmingham City Council's operational team to support the council's efforts to clear the backlog of waste on the streets. In addition, a number of meetings continue to take place as part of the regular dialogue between MHCLG officials and the leadership of the city council to ensure the welfare of Birmingham residents and a swift resolution to the dispute.
