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.

In the news: Basildon Council launches regular review of Licensing Policy

Basildon Council is inviting local residents and business owners to participate in the review of the council's Statement of Licensing Policy.

The Licensing Act 2003 requires the council to determine and publish, every five years, its policy for how it will deliver its licensing functions. The council must also consult on the reviewed policy with businesses/organisations that may be affected by decisions taken in the Basildon Borough Council area.

Residents and representatives of local businesses can share their comments by completing a short survey online. The survey and the draft policy are available on the council website https://www.basildon.gov.uk/licensing_consultation

Alternatively, comments can be shared by email or letter - details of which can be found on the council website.

Cllr Daniel Lawrence, Chairman of Basildon Council's Licensing Committee, welcomed the review: "This review ensures the council continues to meet its requirements as a local authority, working together with local businesses and residents to provide high-quality, safe and compliant services across the borough.

"This is an opportunity to engage with the licensing process and I encourage local people and businesses to have their say."

All comments must be submitted by Friday 25 August 2023.
