Hi folks – here’s this evenings update at 20:00 on Thursday 8 January:
👉It is anticipated that all schools will be open as normal tomorrow, 
however we continue to monitor the situation and will provide further 
updates tomorrow morning if required.
👉We will provide further information about school transport first thing 
tomorrow.
👉Papdale Halls are open for any residents who are able to safely make 
it to the building.
👉Day care services, which were closed today, will be closed again tomorrow.
👉The team have been trying hard to do as many waste collections today 
where conditions have allowed. If your bin wasn't collected today in 
areas 9,12, or 14 unfortunately we will be unable to collect your 
general waste until your next scheduled collection - see schedule at

Waste bags can be taken to a household waste and recycling centre.
👉Tomorrow we will do our best to collect in areas 10, 11, 13 and 15 - 
but cannot guarantee reaching everyone, as this is dependent on road 
conditions. We would ask, where safe to do so, for bins at the top of 
winding or sloped roads to be taken to the nearest public road for to 
ensure the best chance of collection. - Collection details at
