Refuse and recycling collections look likely to be hit again later this month after plans were announced for a second strike by staff.
Collectors belonging to the Unite union will strike between 22 August and 5 September, following action earlier in the summer.
Collections in Redbridge are done by Redbridge Civic Services Ltd, which is owed by the council. The strike is over working conditions.
The strike is the first major test of the new council leader, Councillor Kam Rai, who was elected by councillors to the position following previous leader Jas Athwal’s election as MP.
