Rubbish collection continues - and we have new bags!
Our Kerbside rubbish and recycling collections continue as usual. Pictured here are our new official blue rubbish bags, though the old grey ones will be collected just the same!
Please put your rubbish out early, i.e. before 7am, as we are managing start times to reduce risk and help the crews get collection runs finished before dark.
Please also double-bag potentially hazardous rubbish like tissues to protect collectors from spreading germs.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

lats get cracking on this topic.
Ignorant, selfish dog "owners" that allow their dogs to bark all bloody night and to hell with neighbors right to reasonable peace and quiet and reluctance of authorities to do anything
