A binman who protested against a ban on wearing shorts by sporting a hi-vis kilt has said his employer has revised the rules.

Lee Moran said he hopes colleagues will stick with the shorts trial despite cooler weather

Mr Moran, 50, said the kilt had been a light-hearted protest after he had spent several years trying to persuade his employers to relax the rules.He looked up the rules in June and discovered it was not health and safety regulations which banned shorts, just the council's policy. The council said in the summer it would review the policy, but the main concern over shorts was that waste collection crews might injure themselves on sharp objects in recycling boxes or bags.
