PUBLIC FOOTPATH E18/13 – 6+ Month Closure

Be advised that a temporary traffic order, which Dorset Council is introducing, will close Footpath E18/13 for at least six months.

The diversion is along Rowland Road up to Shaston Road. It therefore exposes walkers to a 100m stretch of a busy public highway.

UPDATE – P225-21-2

The route has been amended to avoid the busy road:

P225-21-2-1

North Dorset bin collection changes in June

Key Messages

  • Some households in and around North Dorset will have their bin collections changed in early June
  • Most won’t notice a difference, but we will write to you in advance if your bin collection days are changing
  • Your bins may be emptied by more than one crew at different times on your collection day
  • Larger vehicles have separate compartments for different waste types, so rest assured your rubbish/recycling/food waste is still being kept separated
  • Our crews often use a “service bin” to gather up food waste or glass – this looks like a regular wheelie bin
  • Garden waste and business collections are mostly unaffected by these changes, but we will write to customers separately if their arrangements are changing
  • If you suspect one/some of your bins have been missed, please leave them out and wait until 4pm before reporting to us.

If this information doesn’t cover your concerns or you need help responding, please e-mail wasteteam@dorsetcouncil.gov.uk and they’ll be very happy to help.
