Please refrain from using the waste facilities until further notice.

One of the skips was deliberately set alight in the early hours of this morning. The fire service attended and the fire was safely extinguished.

For safety reasons, please do not use the waste facilities until the damaged skips have been removed and replaced. New skips have been ordered, and this notice will be updated once they have been delivered and the facilities are back in use.

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
