So we can catch up on the bins we missed on Monday due to the snow, we are prioritising black and blue bin collections this week. This means we will not be collecting brown bins until Friday. However, if we miss your brown bin this week we will collect extra garden waste that's placed at the side of your bin in a clear bag on your next scheduled collection (week starting 13 December). Thank you for bearing with us.

Homelessness guidance and support

If your relationship is breaking down

Many people become homeless when a relationship breaks up.

Your rights will vary depending on your circumstances, but the following issues are among the most important to your rights:

If you are married to your partner
If you have children
Whose name is on the tenancy or mortgage
If your partner has been violent to you

If you have been assaulted by your partner, help and emergency accommodation is available from a network of women's refuges.

Alternatively, find out about our homelessness service. You can also ask for help from places such as a Citizen's Advice Bureau
