Kidd, the leader elect, said her party was “committed to reviewing the way that waste services are delivered, including looking at alternative models of operation for garden waste”.

That would include looking at how it can collect food waste from 2026, when it becomes mandatory for councils to do this, she said.

“We know that finances are tight, we feel there are other options we want to explore as part of a review,” she added.

The people who had voted for new leadership at Shropshire Council in last weeks local elections were “rightly expecting change”, she added.
