WHEELIE bins are set to come to Malvern after councillors reluctantly backed fortnightly collections.

Malvern Hills district councillors backed the introduction of the controversial bins for recycling at a meeting on Tuesday after saying their hands were tied because they needed to apply for Government funding by Friday.

Previous attempts to introduce the bins have been highly unpopular, with opponents saying they are visually inappropriate, unsuitable for many homes and not wanted by much of the public.
