Street name plates

Litter bins

Please use our litter bins to dispose of bagged dog waste and any other litter you create while you are out and about.  It is against the law to use litter bins to throw away general rubbish from your home. If you are caught you may receive a fine.

Report a full or damaged litter bin to the team who look after where the bin is

Street lights, road signs and gully emptying (road drains)

If you see a drain blocked with leaves and debris when it's raining, if possible, please clear the grid to allow the water to flow and prevent local flooding.
