Tommy's gone

It's been reported to me that the "Tommy" - the circa 4' high black silhouette of a soldier in remembrance - has disappeared from Maisemore War Memorial overnight. Please advise if you see it somewhere or know who might have taken it.

Phil Awford - RIP

It is with great sadness that we learn today of the sudden death of Phil Awford, our County Councillor, on Saturday 11 March. Phil worked tirelessly on our parish’s issues and problems from the time of his election in 2009, and for example was instrumental in getting many of the recent roadworks done. He was also very involved with the River Severn and the flooding issues thereof being on the following bodies: the Severn and Wye Flood and Coastal Committee, the Severn Estuary Partnership, and the Wessex Regional Flood + Coastal Committee. Besides being a councillor, Phil was a great friend for many of us and will be really missed in the locality.

Subject: Waste and recycling collections catch-up - Thursday 22 December update

 

 

Dear all,

 

Yesterday’s waste and recycling catch-up collections went very well – crews worked late into the evening once again and made excellent progress.

 

As of 10am on Thursday, 22 December, the state of the catch-up is as follows:

 

Monday, 12 December: completed.

 

Tuesday, 13 December: completed.

 

Wednesday, 14 December: completed apart from one road which will be collected first thing today.

 

Thursday, 15 December: due to be completed by the end of this week.

 

Friday, 16 December: due to be completed by the end of this week.

 

Crews are confident they can get to every missed bin by the end of this week.

 

These catch-ups are taking place in addition to this week’s normal scheduled collections.

 

If a resident’s bin still needs to be emptied from last week, the message remains:

 

Leave your bin out and we will get to it as soon as possible.

 

Side waste

 

Green bin: up to three black bin bags of refuse side waste will be collected.

 

Blue bin: recycling side waste should be placed in a cardboard box next to your blue bin. If you don’t have a box available, place it in an untied carrier bag (please do not tie the bag because the crews need to check the contents).

 

Garden waste

 

The garden waste service has been suspended this week to allow the collection crews to complete the catch up. This service will now resume on Monday, 9 January. 

If residents have questions or concerns about their garden waste collection, we are asking them to contact customer services on 01684 295010 or at customerservices@tewkesbury.gov.uk 

Kind regards

The communications team
