SNOW UPDATE FOR COUNCIL SERVICES

Flying Start and Sure Start creches
All Sure Start creches are cancelled today and all Flying Start playgroups are cancelled except those located on school grounds (Alway, Milton, Monnow and Fairoak).

Social services
Ladyhill centre is closed.


Refuse collections
Refuse services will continue today with normal collections supplemented by a catch up of yesterday’s missed collections. However, due to difficult working conditions primarily in the hillier areas, catch-up collections are likely to continue into Friday. The public are therefore being requested to leave their refuse out for collection.

Grounds staff have been redeployed to aid snow clearance at key location e.g. schools, residential homes and footpaths.


Roads and pavements
Front line services e.g. gritting and snow clearance have and are will continue to operate at 100%. All primary routes are clear and some resources are now being applied to the clearance access routes into secondary schools (for exams) and side roads and footpaths which should yield improvements over the next few days.


Sport and Leisure
All operations as normal with following exceptions: athletic track will not be available at NISV tonight (Athletics club informed); Multi Use Games Areas and ATP not available today.


The car park at Underwood Centre is being cleared and is expected to be open as normal late afternoon/evening. However, check here for a further update if the situation changes.
