Waste teams out despite the conditions

Our waste and recycling teams are out and about today trying to reach as many properties as possible despite the tricky conditions.

Please bear with them though as the roads are challenging in some areas and it simply may not be safe for them to try and manoeuvre – the last thing we want is for them to get stuck.

Apologies in advance to any areas where it has simply been unsafe to attend. At present, given the challenges, it is unlikely that they will be able to revisit so the advice is to hang on to the rubbish or recycling or visit one of the Household Waste and Recycling Centres if possible and safe to do so.

Our gritters are also out in force since early this morning and will continue throughout the day. Please folks if you don’t need to travel today, stay home and cosy.
