Weather warning

Gritting

From 4pm, gritting will run right the way through for the next 24 hours at least.

Details of priority routes can be found online.

However, we encourage drivers to take extra care and only make essential journeys.

Bins and recycling

Bin collections for tomorrow (Friday) have been suspended due to the difficult conditions forecast.

If you’ve already received an automated email asking you to put out your bins / recycling tomorrow, please ignore this.

However, we intend to provide full collections next week including black bins and recycling for all properties (weather dependant).
