Important information on bin collections - Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council  

Basingstoke and Deane  are sorry to say they have had to make the difficult decision to temporarily reduce the frequency of their waste collections.  From Monday 20 April, grey waste bins will be collected one week (every fortnight) and the green recycling bins and glass containers collected the next. 

The day of your collection will not change and your green bin and glass container will be collected on your normal recycling week.  They are very proud of their bin crews and the work they have continued to do to deliver a bin collection service to our residents during these challenging times.  They have tried to reduce pressure on the teams by suspending garden and bulky waste collections and this has enabled them to sustain weekly collections for more weeks than anticipated.

But they now need to make this decision to protect their key workers and ensure they can continue to deliver a reliable waste, recycling, glass and clinical waste service for the duration of the pandemic.  They will keep this under review and will go back to normal collections as soon as possible after the government restrictions have been lifted and they can safely do so.

They are sorry for the disruption and thank you for your understanding and ongoing support during this difficult time. 

 Coronavirus - Covid-19 Volunteer response, Wolverton

There has been a wonderful response to our request for volunteers who would be able to offer help collecting/delivering items - thank you very much.

1.  Swan Street stores. If you ring them up to place an order you may be directed  to Miranda Walsh who lives in Wolverton.  Miranda has set up a What’s App called ‘Feeding the Elderly in Wolverton’’. Ongoing, to place an order text “please contact Miranda on What’s App 07730 981848”. If you don’t do texting, call Miranda on the foregoing mobile number.   Sadly, the Stores are not able to take payment by card over the phone so payment will be any other means you agree with Miranda.
Deliveries will be left on the door step to minimise potential infection.

We have 18 volunteer drivers who can either, act as a back up to Miranda, or take on some other missions.   For all other services, please call/email me with your request and I will arrange transport.  I will try to ensure transport is shared as much as possible between the volunteers.  If there is a payment to be made then you should set up an arrangement with the provider if possible.  All deliveries will be left as described above.

The George and Dragon is offering to provide meals. I await their priced menu.

Samantha Walker has offered to walk dogs for those unable to get out and to transport pets to vets for which she has fully comprehensive insurance cover. Please arrange through me for the time being.

I am attempting to set up home deliveries of fresh fish direct from Devon. The company is awaiting clarification regarding the latest Regulations on “essential services” and how it effects them.

A local resident has kindly offered a home delivery service from a butcher in Thatcham. Could they please forward to me your priced listing so I can circulate it. 

It is hoped to extend this service to cover other local areas over the weekend which will include Ashford Hill, Knowl Hill and Knowl Hill Lane.
