To ensure that the Council can continue with regular general waste collections, it is delaying the start of the garden waste service.

Clearly without knowing how many refuse operators will be self isolating in the coming weeks, this is a necessity, albeit an inconvenience as so many of us will have been out in the garden in recent days.

We are sure that those who have paid will see some form of compensation perhaps through a later finish or earlier start next year and we will push for this, however as I’m sure everyone will agree making sure that our rubbish and recycling is collected is essential.
