Your Chorley North & Astley Labour Team

☀️ Hot weather update ☀️

Due to high temperatures, our waste and recycling crews will be starting their rounds slightly earlier TOMORROW (Wednesday 24 June) and Thursday 25 June to keep safe in the heat.

🚛 Please make sure your bins are out by 6.00am, not 7.00am, on your collection day.

We really appreciate your support in helping protect our teams in the heat – thank you, Chorley! ❤️

A very successful Community Skip morning at Hallgate/Astley Park. This was a joint intiative between Chorley Borough Council & Places for People. Councillors, residents & Streetscene operative unloaded flatbeds, car boots & helped to carry unwanted items to be recycled & disposed of. The sun eventually shone too.
