Due to this week's hot weather forecast, our waste and recycling crews will start earlier in the day when it's cooler. We're asking residents to help us by putting their bins/bag out the night before their collection is due, so our crews can empty them earlier.

Find out what to do if your bin is missed.

We are in contact with all known rough sleepers in the district to encourage them into accommodation during the current weather conditions, as part of our severe weather emergency protocol, which is now active. If you are concerned about a rough sleeper who you feel needs help, please call us on 01543 308000 or outside of office hours call 01527 406643.

Angling on Stowe Pool

No swimming

Swimming is not permitted in Stowe Pool.

This is because swimming in reservoirs such as Stowe Pool unsupervised is dangerous and can lead to loss of life – the reservoir is deep in places, has unexpected currents and is very cold in places even during hot temperatures.

We also recommend dogs do not swim in Stowe Pool or drink water from it.
