Good afternoon
Hope you are well – I’m writing to let you know about some work we’re going to be doing in the area of Diddlebury, Craven Arms.
We’re carrying out some essential improvement works at our Borehole Pumping Station, The Moors, Diddlebury. A new pipeline will be installed within the adjoining field, running from the pumping station to the local water course, which runs alongside Mill Lane. This pipeline will enable us to discharge groundwater (rainwater) from the treatment works into the local brook prior to our treatment and distribution processes. Alongside the brook a structure will be built to protect the bank to the watercourse. Please be assured no water will be discharged into the water course from our works during a natural flooding event.
To enable us to cascade this information out to the local community could I please ask that you update any social media platforms you may have access to and any notice boards with a copy of our letter.
Thank you in advance for your help and please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you’d like any further information.
Kind regards.

New household recycling centres booking system

Please see below information about the booking system:
The address for this page is www.shropshire.gov.uk/recyclingcentrebooking . This is the address that will be used on/in all communications, and the address that you can share with your residents.
From Tuesday (29 October) the site will include links to the booking system websites - there will be two booking sites: one for cars and one for vans/trailers.

Shropshire Council’s new garden waste subscription service will now begin on Monday 4 November 2024, one month later than initially planned, after the council’s supplier failed to produce the garden bin stickers to the required and requested specification.
This means that all garden waste will continue to be collected until Friday 1 November, and will only be collected after this date if people have subscribed and paid.
Those who subscribe to the service will be sent a special sticker to attach to their garden bin, to show collection crews which bins to empty. However, the first stickers sent out by the council’s supplier last week were not ‘tamper proof’ as requested and found not to stick to bins in damp conditions. As a result the council quickly found a new supplier able to print and supply the required stickers.
People who have already received a sticker will now receive a replacement, with everyone who has subscribed so far set to receive their sticker by the end of October 2024.
A 12-month subscription costs £56 per bin and will now cover the period 4 November 2024 to 31 October 2025. A payment window is open until 31 March 2025.
This means that those who have already subscribed will still get 12 months of collections.
Ian Nellins, Shropshire Council’s deputy Leader and Cabinet member with responsibility for waste management, said:
