Council apologises for leaving rubbish uncollected in five areas of Milton Keynes today

But they promise that contractors Serco will be out first thing in the morning to complete the areas they have missed.

These are parts of Milton Keynes Village, Middleton, Heelands, Springfield and Downs Barn.

The problem is thought to be due to large volumes of refuse.

An MK Council spokesman said: We've been unable to fully complete food and garden waste and refuse and recycling collections in some areas .. We'll be out first thing on Wednesday to complete any missed collections."
