There are also details on our website about how people can recycle their real Christmas trees.

Brown bin collections (garden waste) will be suspended over the Christmas period, while crews concentrate on collecting all the extra waste from Christmas. Garden waste customers will receive an extra collection in the spring to make up for this.

If the district is affected by bad weather, all the latest information about bin collections will be posted on the council’s:

Christmas and New Year 2018

Posted on by

There are lots of things going on for Christmas and New year, both in the village, and nearby.  So I wanted to create a special christmas/new-year calendar to show all the things you could do.  Note that I hope this page will show more over the coming weeks, so please do look back.

If you know of any other events happening in the village, or that would be of strong interest to the local villagers, please do let me know using the sites contact form, and I will try to get them added.
