Before collections take place the following things have to be considered.
Is it safe to drive down a road ?
I
The number and proximity of parked vehicles.
Is it safe to stop and start frequently, particularly on hills?
The impact upon other road users. (Can they stop safely when faced with a slow moving vehicle that stops regularly?)
The safety of the loaders. This includes working behind the vehicle in the face of other vehicle movements, and also carrying heavy sacks on slippery pavements.
Over the course of this week there have been a number of accidents involving our staff, including a broken leg.
Collections have now been suspended for the remainder of today (Friday 18th Jan) and a voice mail message put on the Contact Centre lines accordingly.
The service will catch up as and when conditions allow
Please allow for delays for your collections of waste materials as a result
