With high temperatures expected, bin collections tomorrow and Friday will begin from 6am. ☀️ 🗑️

Starting earlier helps keep our teams safe from the extreme heat.

You can support them by:
-Putting your bin out the night before or by 6am
-Making sure roads aren’t blocked

If your bin is missed, leave it out and we'll collect it as soon as possible.

Thanks for your support and please help spread the word to neighbours, friends and family.

The Met Office has issued an amber weather warning for extreme heat for Wednesday and Thursday this week. Please stay safe.

Don’t enter open water. There may be hidden hazards beneath the surface, and cold temperatures can cause cold water shock. 🚫

If you see someone in trouble, don’t go in after them. You could both be at risk.

- PHONE 999 immediately
- Tell them to FLOAT on their back
- THROW something that can help them stay afloat.

Planning a trip to one of our parks? Please remember:

- Barbecues are not allowed due to the increased risk of fire.
- Use the bins provided or take any extra rubbish home with you.
