Potholes
We aim to repair potholes as quickly as possible. After a spell of severe weather, our road repair crews are very busy. To keep our crews on the road, you can help us by reporting online.
Report a pothole
Bins
When conditions are difficult, our bin crews will not risk public safety by driving heavy vehicles down icy roads. As a result, some streets may miss a collection. We will try to return to the street as soon as possible. If your bin was the only one in your street to be missed you can report it online.
Report a missed bin collection
School Closures
It is the decision of the Head Teacher/Governing Body to close a school. You will be informed through pre-agreed channels. If you have not been informed assume the school is open.
Staying Well
Severe weather can cause difficulties, particularly for vulnerable people such as the elderly.
