Ready for winter

As the weather gets colder it is a good time to think about the winter preparations you, your family and community may need to make.

These pages tell you about our services over winter, and give useful information and advice to help you plan for whatever the season brings:

• household waste and recycling
• winter health
• winter travel
• winter weather
• keeping safe
• shopping and paying bills

We provide an emergency out-of-hours contact service.

You can also find a wide range of winter advice on the Met Office: Get ready for winter web pages – including the handy Met Office: Winter readiness check-list.

Services online

When it's cold outside, stay warm indoors and use our services on the web - it's quickest and easiest online.
