COVID Memorials – Survey

Coventry and Warwickshire councils, health services and the community and voluntary sector want to commemorate the lives lost to COVID-19 by considering memorials in locations around the county for people to go to reflect on the past year and look with hope toward the future.  As these spaces will be for the community, we want to know what you think about this idea?

Bus Service Improvement Plan Survey

Warwickshire County Council is working closely with bus operators to develop an ambitious Warwickshire Bus Service Improvement Plan (BSIP) aimed at encouraging more people to travel by bus.

The Government has earmarked £3 billion towards improving bus services throughout England. The BSIP will set out Warwickshire’s ambitions for bus service improvements and help secure a proportion of the funding to benefit people living, working and travelling in Warwickshire.

We need your input to help us develop the Plan.   
We want to find out what improvements are needed for local bus services and what would make you use local buses more.  We’d like to hear from you whether you travel by bus or not.  We welcome the views of all residents, public sector, private sector and voluntary organisations.

To find out more and complete our online survey please click on this link or visit www.warwickshire.gov.uk/ask.

This  survey closes on 19 September.

Recycling Collections to Restart

Recycling collections will resume in Avon Dassett on 4th August after the fire at the recycling plant in Wellesbourne this week. Due to the complexity of setting up an alternative recycling disposal site it will not be possible to do any catch up collections.
Residents can present extra recycling in cardboard boxes or clear plastic bags at the next collection.

Recycling Collection Suspended

20 July: Recycling collections suspended in Stratford District
Following the fire at Pure Recycling in Ettington yesterday (19 July), Stratford District Council has temporarily suspended blue bin recycling collections across the District until alternative disposal arrangements are made.
We will advise on the collection arrangements as soon as we have more information.
All other collections are operating as normal.
