HOT WEATHER NOTICE: Waste collections from Friday 19 June 2026
Owing to the hot weather, from Friday 19 June - Friday 26 June 2026 our waste crews will be starting earlier. This means all waste containers / bins must be out in your usual collection point by 5.00am, and not 6.00am as is usual. We appreciate your cooperation during this period and thank you for your understanding.

Intervention and improvement
We're making major changes to improve the way we are managed, to achieve financial stability, and to make the council fit for the future.
In September 2022, we were put into intervention by the Government. Since then, work has been underway to make the council better and more efficient.
