Properties on a Friday week 1 Waste and Recycling collection incorrectly showing a non-recycling collection due today 19th April 2025.

We are aware of an error impacting Friday week 1 waste collections, which meant some properties showed a non-recycling waste collection due today, 19th April, on Where I Live and the Our Street App, ahead of weekly collections starting from 28th April. This collection was showing in error and the issue which caused this has now been resolved. As per the fortnightly week 1 waste collection still active, your next collection was due Saturday 26th April, and weekly thereafter. Please therefore take your black wheelie bin back in and represent this on your next collection date. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience that this error may have caused.

Pollution control - Air Quality

Local Air Quality Monitoring - We periodically review and assess local air quality.

The Environment Act 1995 gives local authorities the responsibility to periodically review and assess local air quality and where air quality objectives are unlikely to be achieved, to designate air quality management areas. Subsequently the Local Authority develops action plans aimed at reducing air pollution.

As a result of the review and assessment process, three pollutants were identified as potential threats to air quality in the district. They are:

  • Nitrogen Dioxide
  • Particulate Matter (PM10) Dust
  • Sulphur Dioxide (S02)
