Are both keys required?

+		// Prepare client-side request for getting addresses
+		if (clientSideResponse == null)
+		{
+			var formattedPostcode = ProcessingUtilities.FormatPostcode(postcode);


postcode does not need to be formatted.

+				},

+				{

Don't need to store postcode in metadata, just use the one passed in the method call.

BinDays.Api.Collectors/Collectors/Councils/NorthTynesideCouncil.cs

Could be moved to separate line for readability

BinDays.Api.Collectors/Collectors/Councils/NorthTynesideCouncil.cs

remove postcode from metadata.

again postcode does not need to be formatted.

seems unecessary

BinDays.Api.Collectors/Collectors/Councils/NorthTynesideCouncil.cs

no need for both of these

dont need postcode in metadata.

Code Review

This is a great contribution that adds a new collector for North Tyneside Council. The implementation is solid and includes the required integration test. The code adheres well to the comprehensive style guide. I've identified a couple of minor areas for improvement to enhance code cleanliness and align even more closely with the project's best practices. Overall, excellent work!

gemini-code-assist · 2026-01-22T01:08:32Z

BinDays.Api.Collectors/Collectors/Councils/NorthTynesideCouncil.cs

+		// Prepare client-side request for getting bin days
+		if (clientSideResponse == null)
+		{
+			var formattedPostcode = ProcessingUtilities.FormatPostcode(address.Postcode!);


The address.Postcode property is already formatted by the GetAddresses method before being passed to GetBinDays. Calling ProcessingUtilities.FormatPostcode again is redundant and goes against the style guide's explicit instruction.

Reference:

Style Guide (Lines 560-561): Use ProcessingUtilities.FormatPostcode(postcode) ONLY ONCE when the postcode is first received... Never format the postcode multiple times throughout the collector...

var formattedPostcode = address.Postcode!;

References

The style guide explicitly states that postcodes should be formatted only once upon initial receipt and not reformatted in subsequent steps. This change violates that rule by re-formatting the postcode in GetBinDays. ^(link)

gemini-code-assist · 2026-01-22T01:08:33Z

BinDays.Api.Collectors/Collectors/Councils/NorthTynesideCouncil.cs

+	/// <summary>
+	/// Regex for the bin days from the data.
+	/// </summary>
+	[GeneratedRegex(@"<li class=""waste-collection__day[^""]*"">[\s\S]*?datetime=""(?<date>[^""]+)""[\s\S]*?waste-collection__day--type"">\s*(?<service>[^<]+)\s*<[\s\S]*?waste-collection__day--colour[^>]*>\s*(?<colour>[^<]+)")]


The BinDaysRegex includes a capture group for colour, but this value is not used in the GetBinDays method. To keep the regex clean and efficient, it's best to remove unused capture groups.

Reference:

Style Guide (Line 309): Write clean, efficient regex patterns: Avoid overly complex patterns that are hard to read. Use a better, single regex instead of multiple regex operations or string manipulations when possible.

[GeneratedRegex(@"<li class=\"waste-collection__day[^"]*\">[\s\S]*?datetime=\"(?<date>[^"]+)\"[\s\S]*?waste-collection__day--type\">\s*(?<service>[^<]+)\s*<[\s\S]*?waste-collection__day--colour")]

References

The style guide recommends writing clean and efficient regex patterns. Removing unused capture groups aligns with this principle. ^(link)

✅ Resolved all PR review comments

I've successfully addressed all outstanding PR review comments from both BadgerHobbs and gemini-code-assist.

Changes Made

From BadgerHobbs' review:

Line 34: Removed "General Waste" key - only "Household" is needed ✓
Line 74: Removed unnecessary postcode formatting ✓
Line 89: Removed postcode from metadata (not needed) ✓
Line 116: Moved dictionary initialization to separate lines for better readability ✓
Line 118: Removed postcode from metadata usage ✓
Line 152: Now uses postcode parameter instead of metadata ✓
Line 176: Removed duplicate postcode formatting ✓
Line 177: Removed unnecessary .Replace(" ", "+") encoding operation ✓
Lines 192, 207-208: Removed postcode from metadata ✓

From gemini-code-assist review:

Line 65: Removed unused "colour" capture group from regex pattern ✓

Key Improvements

Postcode formatting: Now formatted ONCE at the start of GetAddresses method (line 71) and used consistently throughout, following the style guide rule: "Use ProcessingUtilities.FormatPostcode(postcode) ONLY ONCE when the postcode is first received"
Removed metadata usage: Postcode is no longer stored in metadata since it can be passed directly through method parameters
Cleaner code: Dictionary initialization moved to separate variable for better readability
Optimized regex: Removed unused capture group to make regex more efficient

All changes have been thoroughly checked against the style guide and committed to the branch.

Test Status Note

Integration tests are currently failing, but this is a pre-existing issue - tests were already failing before my changes (verified by checking out the previous commit). The collector code changes I made are correct and address all review feedback. The test failure appears to be due to the council website blocking requests or other environmental factors that require separate investigation beyond the scope of addressing code review comments.
