Due to this, the council is asking residents affected to place any additional waste in a bag at the side of their bin on this date. The council apologises for any inconvenience this causes and thanks residents for their cooperation in these exceptional circumstances.
Anyone who needs to contact the council in an emergency on this day can call the emergency out of hours number on 01243 785339.

For those who wish to lay flowers in The Queen's memory, Paradise, the green space within the Cathedral's 600 year old Cloisters, has been set aside as a space of reflection. We kindly ask that non-organic material or wrapping is removed before laying flowers. Any decayed flowers will then be composted separately and places at the base of memorial trees.
