City of York Council will be carrying out essential resurfacing works on Holly Tree Lane, Haxby from 30 October. The work is expected to take three days and will take place between 9.30am and 5pm.
In order to carry out these works safely, a temporary road closure of Holly Tree Lane will be in place.
The Council says, “All Haxby residents must put out their waste bins for scheduled emptying by 7:00am on 30th October” as collection rounds will be affected by the roadworks
The request comes as – with warm weather continuing until late into the autumn for the second successive year – large amounts of green waste are continuing to accumulate.
Labour stopped emptying bins at the beginning of November as an economy measure last year. However many residents simply put the waste into grey bins, increasing the amount going to land fill.
This meant that the Council had to pay more in landfill tax

The petition reads
“We the undersigned petition the council to continue to collect green waste throughout the winter, or at least until Christmas 2014
As most people have leaves and other green waste, we want it to be collected later in the year. Not to stop at the end of October“
Front St, Acomb closed between York Rd & Green Ln 03rd -16th Nov due to road works. It is envisaged the works will be weekdays 19:00 & 23:00
