As we come to the end of our consultation process for our district design code, we are asking residents and businesses to give us their final comments. This is a crucial opportunity to have your say on future development guidelines concerning building aesthetics, environmental sustainability, and heritage conservation, so please do get involved and give us your views.

Recycling changes

The volume of cardboard you can store increases by cutting and folding

There has been extensive research both from other councils who have successfully adopted this scheme and our own team, that shows that flattening boxes results in increased volume of recycled material can fit into the bag.

Additional cardboard will be taken if left out with the recycling on the day of collection and if you need an additional free bag you can request one.
