Swans on Privett Road ⚠️
Each year local swans cross Privett Road, causing the occasional traffic obstruction. Hampshire County Council has put up permanent wildfowl signs where they usually cross to keep everyone aware. Please take care when around this area and report any road issues to Hampshire Highways.

There is some disruption to alleyway refuse collections today due to unexpected vehicle issues, which means some collections are running later than usual.

We are using a spare vehicle from Kent to help keep services running, and our crews are doing all they can to catch up. All affected alleyways will be emptied tomorrow.

Thanks for your patience.

Do you live in a flat? You can still recycle right. The following items can still go in the shared green-lidded bin:
✔️ Paper & card
✔️ Plastic bottles only
✔️ Tins, cans & aerosols
Keep your items loose, and clean. Please don't put them in bags as this all contributes to contamination and could result in items being classed as rubbish not recycling.
