Recycle Right
Over the last few weeks we’ve seen more residents putting the correct recyclable materials in the correct bin.
Thanks to this, you’ve contributed to a fall in our contamination rates. This in turn helps to keep costs down, which can then be spent on other council services.
A reminder that paper, cardboard, plastic bottles, aerosols, cans, tins and foil are ALL accepted.
Are you in an unhealthy relationship?
Domestic abuse can happen to anyone; partners; ex-partners; family members; regardless of sexuality or gender orientation, race, background or upbringing.
Children and young people can also be affected by the abuse that they see and hear, and they can be harmed as part of domestic abuse between adults. Young people may also experience abuse from their own boyfriend/girlfriend.
If you are isolated and maybe feeling trapped with a partner or someone else in your home who you are scared of please know that we are here and we can support you. Please fill in the information on the form and we will contact you:
 Have you visited your local family hub?
We offer a huge range of FREE supportive and fun, family-friendly groups and events, we also host antenatal and postnatal appointments with the Midwifery and Health Visiting services.

Our groups and events can range from antenatal parenting groups, to our First Friends sessions where your little ones can have new experiences, learn and meet other little ones in their community, whilst you meet other parents and care givers.
