Disposal of ash leaves and prunings
Due to the threat of ash dieback disease we are following the guidance from the Forestry Commission and advising residents not to put branches or leaves from ash trees in their brown wheelie bin for composting.
Please either leave ash branches and leaves where they are or, if possible, burn them on site. For more information visit the Forestry Commission website.
