With streets lined with combustible material, Birmingham has offered to help Scunthorpe steel works with fuel.
The people of Birmingham have been conveniently stockpiling rubbish in the streets. This will be perfect for convenient collection for transporting to Scunthorpe. The steel works has been taken over by the government and needs to be operated with close attention to running costs.
Under the previous ownership the steel works was losing £700, 000 per day, so any savings on the fuel costs will make a significant contribution to the future of steel in the UK.
