If you are signed up to our Garden Waste Service, collections finish on Friday, 13th December, 2024.
This is the last week of collections for the year.

Untidy land and buildings
If the local planning authority considers that the condition of land or buildings is having a harmful effect on the area, it may serve a Notice under Section 215 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.
The notice may require certain steps to be undertaken by the owner of the land to improve its condition.
Failure to comply with a Section 215 Notice is an offence that could be the subject of a prosecution.
In addition, the local planning authority has the power to enter the land, carry out the work and charge the cost of such work to the landowner, which may also involve a financial charge on the land.
There is the right of appeal to the courts against such notices.
You can report untidy land or property using the Breach of planning control form. Please remember to attach photographs of the untidy land or property.
