NEWS AND NOTICES
WASTE COLLECTIONS WEEK COMMENCING
MONDAY
6 FEBRUARY 2012...
Please note the following message from
Babergh District Council with respect to waste and
recycling collections.
"Because of the snow and ice some of our waste and recycling
collections have been disrupted. Please put your waste or recycling
bin out as usual on your normal day of collection and we will do
all we can to empty it by the end of the week. Our refuse/recycling
helpline number is 0845 606 6045.
All brown bin garden waste collections have been cancelled
for this week (Week commencing 06-02-12). Please present your brown
bin for collection on your next scheduled brown bin collection
date.
We will be reviewing the situation throughout the week, and will
send out further updates if the situation changes."
PARKING
RESTRICTIONS TO BE INCREASED IN WARD
ROAD
Because
of the numbers of cars now parking along Ward Road each day
(average of 32) it has now become impossible for motorists and
buses to safely use this route. Emergency traffic orders are
to be implemented over the next week or two to increase the lining
to reduce the number of cars significantly. Cones are to be
placed along these new areas whilst we await the actual lining to
be put down. More permanent orders will then be sought over
the coming months which will give us all the opportunity to see how
it works and if any further amendment is required.
GRIT
HEAPS......................................................................
Please contact the Parish Clerk if you feel your
location needs a grit heap to help
in the snow and icy conditions this winter. If you are
prepared to help spread the grit then please let Sandra also have
your name and contact details so you can be added to the County
Council's insurance.
BUS SHELTERS TO BE
REFURBISHED.........................................
Three shelters in Belmont Road and
one in Cottingham Road have been repainted recently. We
are now awaiting the back/bottom panel of each shelter
to be filled-in with glavanised steel (which will then be
painted to match) with the remainder of the panels to be
filled with new polycarbonate sheeting. The council
took the decision not to replace with all polycarbonate
sheeting because of the level of graffiti to the
shelters. We apologise for any inconvenience this
work may cause to bus users during this time.
LITTER BIN DESTROYED ONCE
AGAIN.....................................
The litter bin in Ward road situated on the
edge of the walkway into Greenspire Grove has been set light and
damaged once again. This bin was only installed just over a
year ago and this is the second time that it has been vandalised,
the first time it was melted completely and had to be
replaced. Anyone who has any information with
regards to this matter can report it to PC Austin on telephone
101 or email at
gary.austin@suffolk.pnn.police.uk
