We think that  the event on 6th July will be postponed for a week as it coincides with the Tour De France start.

NB. The Council has been asked to confirm whether everyone who is supposed to have a green bins sticker has now received one. Some Council officials are saying that the stickers are only required  for “paid for” second bins while other say that every green bin needs a sticker if it is to be emptied. Apparently bins without a sticker won’t be emptied after the beginning of May.

So far 750 residents have paid £35 to have a second green bin placed on the emptying list.
