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

Your bin contents will be checked by the team

In future, the contents of each bin will be checked by the team as we have to ensure that vehicle loads are not contaminated with the wrong materials.

If the wrong material is in the wrong container, the waste teams will not be able to collect your bins.

There will be a two collection amnesty whilst people get used to the idea but there will be more stringent checking of bins as our waste recycling suppliers are demanding this or excessive charges will be incurred by the council.
