🚶‍♀️ The nights are drawing in, but that's no reason to stay indoors just yet.

There's something about a walk with good company that clears your head in a way nothing else quite does - and our Change walking groups make it easy to find that, wherever you're starting from.

Inclusive, low-pressure and open to all, our walks are as much about connection as they are about steps.

💷 Fly-tipping isn’t just an eyesore, it’s a waste of money for everyone.

Councils spend up to £150 million every year clearing illegally dumped rubbish.

That’s money that could otherwise help fund vital public services such as schools, parks, hospitals and social care.

Keep Britain Tidy’s latest research found councils estimate rogue traders and commercial operators are responsible for more than a third of fly-tipping incidents.

So if you’re offered a cheap deal, check who you’re paying to take your rubbish away.

Protect yourself. Protect your community. Protect your local environment.

🍽️ What a first week!

More than 11 tonnes of food waste was collected in the first week of Fylde’s new weekly food waste service. It’s all being turned into renewable energy instead of going to landfill 🌍

A big thank you to all 10,200+ Phase 1 households for getting involved - remember to put your outdoor caddy out for collection at the front of your property by 7am every week on your usual collection day 💚

Got questions? Our food waste team is running drop-in sessions at St Annes Town Hall, starting this Wednesday, 21 October, from 9am to 1pm.

We’re working up detailed costings and design options to fully repair and restore the boating lake on The Island, with the aim of bringing it back into use as part of the seafront’s family offer.

Alongside this, we’re inviting expressions of interest from businesses and organisations with ideas, so we understand all the options before any decision is made.

No decision has been made to move away from the boating lake. Any proposals we receive will be considered alongside the restoration work.

Expressions of interest close at 12pm on Wednesday 4 November. Documents are on The Chest (ref DN832953).
