GARDEN waste collections are about to restart in Copeland.

The seasonal service begins again on Monday, March 16, after its annual winter suspension.

The fortnightly collections are for grass, leaves and clippings – there is a full list of what can and can’t be put in garden waste bins at www.copeland.gov.uk.

Residents will also find their waste collection calendar there, detailing exactly which date their collection is due on. Householders should make sure their bin is put out before 7am on the day of collection.

Conference showcases range of support available

Published: 02/03/2020

THE range of support available for Copeland’s residents has been highlighted at the borough’s first Social Inclusion Conference.

Copeland Council held the conference in St Bees on Friday; the purpose of which was to showcase projects run by the council and partners that aim to provide equal opportunities for residents of all ages.

A dog that is not under supervision will foul and could be aggressive. They can also cause road accidents, worry livestock and injure themselves. We collect strays and take them to kennels for their own welfare and for public safety.
